Second, the ONLY reason the Constitution is "living" is because it can be AMENDED through the process delineated in Article V of the Constitution as times change. The spirit and letter of the Constitution DO NOT change nor are the words of the Constitution ambiguous except to those who desire to expand their power.
Third, ALL interpretative revisions of the Constitution are unconstitutional and those who provide such revisionism are guilty of treason since those involved most often have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution.
Fourth, Congress, the President & officers and the Judiciary are granted limited powers FROM the people, who retain ALL sovereignty other than that granted. The list is short and concise. Each power is granted to a specific branch and cannot through legislative or other action be transferred without amendment of the Constitution. The BILL OF RIGHTS supersedes and places additional restrictions upon the powers which were granted. The proof of this lies in the Framer's choice of words for the preamble. Look closely: The amendments are "amendments of" NOT amendments to, a major difference in how the amendments affect preceding phraseology. Thus ALL legislation, while legitimate under the basic Constitution, which is contrary to the limitations in the amendments of the Constitution is invalid.
Fifth, There is ONLY one lawful procedure for change of the Constitution and that is AMENDMENT. The inclusion of a method of change absolutely refutes claims to all other methods of change.
Sixth, The Judiciary have been manipulating the Constitution, without Constitutional authority to do so, in order to force United States citizens to become morally the society the Judiciary desires regardless of Constitutional restraints. Madison stated that the judiciary was to be the weakest of all branches of government but beginning as early as 1803 the courts began to take power for their own use.
Seventh, Much of academe has been involved in the Judicial manipulation of the Constitution. Academics often have a tendency to be elitist and often believe only they know what is best for everyone.
Eighth, The Federal Government began to manipulate the Constitution because it was and is too difficult to obtain the amendments those in power desire. Power exists to be sought after, to be demonstrated, and to be expanded upon.
Ninth, All power rightfully resides in the citizens of the United States and ALL officials of the United States Government are servants to the citizens of the country. The list of powers granted to the federal government is short and concise as can be seen by reading the Constitution.
Tenth, The Bill of Rights, which is actually the first 8 approved amendments of the Constitution, was ruled as not restricting upon state action in 1833. Following this unprecedented ruling, States behaved at times abusively to certain of their inhabitants. The overwhelming evidence concerning the Bill of Rights is that the Bill of Rights SHOULD apply to the states but the 1833 ruling has been allowed to stand instead of being overturned as it should be. Although the evidence is to the contrary, the Court began to "incorporate" the Bill of Rights protections against state action using the fourteenth amendment but this process did not begin until several decades had passed following the ratification.
