Take your Daily Constitutional >by the Pink Wizard, Esq.
I just read an article about the constitution. You know, the paper written on hemp about how black people get two-thirds of a vote? Anyway, the article discusses whether the constitution is living or dead. Is it like the Torah, which has been interpreted to mean that Jews can give their pets Bark-Mitzvahs? Or is it instead like the Koran, which is interpreted to mean that Muslims can use blueberry muffins for the purposes of [this phrase censored by Larry Beethoven]?
Being a law scholar with an emeritus degree from Yale (the school Big City Lawyer failed to get into, thus bringing shame to his family), I am of the opinion that the constitution is a dead document. Dead as a doornail. But who cares about my opinion? Deep down inside, I am just a pink wizard, nothing more, nothing less.
My main point is this: what if the constitution was originally written as a blog? How would that have changed the development of our great country? Would John Hancock have used a 24 point font? Would Thomas Jefferson have provided links to interracial porn sites? Would Gerge Washington have used a wooden mouse?

First of all, National Review, yikes. The constituation and it amendments were made to protect our freedoms. Bush has the right to go to congress and have laws passed that give him permission to do wire taps without a warrent. The Supreme Court can then rule on whether that is constitutional or not. However, constitutional or not, Bush did not follow the laws set up by FISA. Bringing up the living constitution is silly in this instance.
