Circadian

If I have to hear one more serious-sounding Republican say that they want Obama to pick a Supreme Court candidate that will follow the Constitution to the letter, I’m going to have an aneurism.

They seem unable to understand that the only way that America can continue to survive and thrive, the Constitution needs to be a living document – it needs to grow with the times, and be read and understood with a modern perspective.

And what is it with their need to slavishly follow rules set down hundreds of years ago? Is that why so many from the stricter sects of Christianity are drawn to the Republican party?  Because it was easier to follow a political persuasion that places high value strict interpretation of ancient dogma?

It’s time for us to get some judges on the Supreme Court that understand that for America to thrive, it’s time for us to let go of some of those ridiculous old interpretations and start interpreting laws in ways that actually help us out, rather than holding us back.
