[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4119919, member: 58386"] Wrong. I've encountered a number of self proclaimed "constitutional scholars" in my time who climbed on their soap boxes and dispensed with their ridiculously right slanted interpretation of the constitution. Whenever I called them out in regard to their credentials and education levels it always set them off in a spastic rage when they had to admit the fact that their interpretation of the constitution was that of a mere layman and no more credible than that of those they were preaching to. Expressing love and gratitude for the constitution is one thing. Attempting to interpret it's meaning and application after more than two centuries in existence is a task best left for those who have spent their entire lives in the pursuit of the necessary levels of study and formal education required in order to speak to the matter in an authoritative and qualified manner. Those who THINK they know the true meaning of the document but lack the credentials that supports their claims are almost always ignored or immediately discredited leaving them embarrassed and humiliated . The difficult task of taking an ageing document and making it work in a increasingly complex world must be left to only those who are truly qualified to do so. [/QUOTE]
