Char, a question for your statement. you are talking about adding NEW amendments, not changing the contract without changing the meaning, trying to say one set of words meant something in 1800, and something else in 1900, in your statement...

I was referring to amendments when I wrote that. But as you know from prior conversations I also believe the founders were right to assign the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution. This will lead to changes in the understanding of the interplay between the different Constitutional clauses over time. I don't see a problem with that.
