The Constitution uses a fair amount of fuzzy language. "Undue burden", "excessive bail", "cruel & unusual punishment", "unreasonable search & seizure", etc.
Thus our perception of what is undue, excessive, cruel, or unreasonable can change, without the Constitution changing a word.
- Retric 8y agoThat's relevant to specific sections not the entire thing. I really don't see any applicable fuzzy language involved. As far as I can see it's purely a political question and they simply chose ahead of time to change their minds independent of any arguments given. That's a huge perversion of the entire idea of the supreme court.
