Oh, I'll grant that the meaning hasn't changed. But who has the right to say what the meaning was?

Certainly the Supreme Court is granted that authority, but it doesn't change the fact that the meaning may be different from one justice to the next. The document is, therefore, still living and breathing. It matters not that the text is carved in stone if it can only be read in sand.
