The Post Techie Conservative

The blog of engineers who once upon a time spent sleepless nights procrastinating on or near the New Mexico Tech campus and share the ideals of conservatism.

Good to be back

What was that? Oh yeah, my laziness has finally been snapped and I decided to finally get back to the blog. It's been since December, but sometimes there's just something you have to link to, courtesy of Jonah Goldberg at NRO...
If you recall, the "living Constitution" is the notion that the meaning of the Constitution changes over time. One day nine justices simply wake up, and when they arrive at work that day, they discover that the words in the document they studied their entire adult lives suddenly mean something new and fresh. It's a bit like a science experiment where you try to grow mold in a petri dish. A dead (or "enduring") Constitution is simply one that means what it says and says what it means. Obviously, this is a gross generalization, but you get the point.
