Liberals are claiming that President Bush has violated constitutional restrictions on torture and spying on Americans. Don't they understand that the constitution is a living document that must be reinterpreted in light of new events and understandings? An originalist reading of the constitution would throw us back into the primitive past when the minimum wage was unconstitutional. Fortunately, conservatives know that constitutional interpretation must change with the times and never more so than now. We live in a different world. The Founding Fathers may have been great in their time but they did not face the problems that we face today and we should not be bound by their 18th century ideas of liberty and executive tyranny.
Of course, to me an originalist reading of the Constitution would place the President's Article II war powers over the Foreign Intelligence Security Act statutes and make his actions legal, but the above argument skewers many of the liberal positions on the subject.
After all, if we can read the "right" to an abortion into the Constitution's privacy provisions then certainly the President's Article II powers with regard to domestic surveillance are written in stone.
