The Bill of Rights and all of the other amendments of the Constitution are as much a part of the document as the original document. The framers of the Constitution realized that the document would need to be corrected and extended over time and they provided the tools to do so.

I don't disagree with you on this. I am simply saying that to deify the Framers is a mistake. I often disagreed with Scalia, but he was a great legal mind, and I think his friendship with Ginsberg, like Reagan and O'Neil, is an example of a more civil discourse than now exists, unfortunately.
