is the "but what about the constitution" argument a cop out?

[Fuzzy Bear]

The "living document" idea is ridiculous.  Great weight should be attached to the intent of the Framers, as they wrote the Constitution as an ongoing Framework to both organize government and limit government.

Judicial activism has given us Roe v. Wade.  It has also given us Citizens United.  Much to dislike on both sides.  The Judicial Activism wrought by the "Living Constitution" paradigm has negated the will of elected legislatures in favor of the will of an unelected Court.  There are times where that should be.  But we have gotten to the point where self-rule is a diminishing concept.
