Scalia showing his respect for diverse opinion

In terms of the amendment process, I can agree with it being a "Living Document". But the way the term is tossed around normally, I would say that it is NOT a living document, and unless something within society changes majorly (such as periods when the amendments mentioned above have been passed), we can't have such a loose interpretation and attitude towards our "guiding light" -- the Constitution.
