IT'S ALIVE!!

In a recent posting I mentioned how our respected Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia believes our Constitution not to be a living organism. The U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Mr. Zalmay Khalilzad, however, seems to disagree:

"Our own constitution, as you know, had to change in order to remain relevant, and this will be the case with Iraq as well," he said. "Constitutions are not just one-time documents. To be relevant they will have to adapt."

So if Scalia were right, by now our Constitution wouldn't be relevant anymore. I wonder what he'd tell Mr. Khalilzad.
