Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch, is being lauded by his supporters for being both a strict "originalist" and "textualist." This means that he believes in sticking to every little detail written by the founders of our country over two centuries ago.
Is this such a wonderful thing?
Once again, I find myself wondering:
Could it be that maybe, just maybe, it might be okay for a generation that writes with computers to re-examine some of the things written with a feather?

Like all ancient sacred texts, the Bible, the Quran, Bhagavad Gita, what-have-you...the U.S. Constitution is hopelessly out-of-date with contemporary society because it was written by men who could not conceive how the human condition would evolve. I'd like to scrap about half of it entirely and have at least a dozen or so amendments I think we need.
