[Vision2020] Living document

[Douglas]

Dear visionaries,

I agree with Ry that necessary amendments ought to be made openly and 
honestly, by means of the amendment process.

In response to Melynda's comments, I am afraid this just gives us a blank 
screen on to which we may project our collective fantasies and desires. 
Want affirmative action? Never mind the Constitution. Want gun control? 
Never mind the Constitution. But there is a price tag. Want to take out 
Iraq? Never mind the Constitution.

George Bush is doing nothing except what several generations of progressive 
legal theory have permitted him to do. But if you got off on a wrong road 
twenty miles back, it will not help to curse the asphalt currently under 
your car. (E.g. "No war in Iraq!"). You have to turn the car around. (E.g. 
"What is the nature of constitutional federalism?").

Cordially,

Douglas Wilson
