Interpreting the Constitution

Fred Thompson had this to say about the Constitution, and if my back weren't still messed up I'd have jumped and given an loud and thunderous "Amen!"

I do not believe the Constitution is a living, breathing document. I am committed to appointing strict constructionist judges to the bench if I am elected President, strict constructionists who believe the Constitution has a fixed meaning that can be applied to cases that come before the courts today. They do NOT believe the Constitution is a “living, breathing document,” whose meaning, constantly changing with the sifting sands of our culture, can be determined and applied by unelected judges.
