Scalia thinks you're an "idiot"
From Americablog:
Scalia criticized those who believe in what he called the "living Constitution."
"That's the argument of flexibility and it goes something like this: The Constitution is over 200 years old and societies change. It has to change with society, like a living organism, or it will become brittle and break."
"But you would have to be an idiot to believe that," Scalia said. "The Constitution is not a living organism, it is a legal document. It says something and doesn't say other things."
Proponents of the living constitution want matters to be decided "not by the people, but by the justices of the Supreme Court."
"They are not looking for legal flexibility, they are looking for rigidity, whether it's the right to abortion or the right to homosexual activity, they want that right to be embedded from coast to coast and to be unchangeable," he said.
Can anyone find in the Constitution the mention of the word "heterosexual" or more specifically "heterosexual privilege"?
Yeah, me either, so why do THEY have it?
Because the Constitution can't be changed unless it suits their needs.
"Idiot" is right. They need to realize that their "orientation" didn't even start to exist until they put us in a category called "homosexual."
