I feel that yes the constitution should be referred to, but that we need to stop being ashamed by the "living document" idea because its been around for 230 years and new issues arise that could theoretically invalidate some of the amendments. I feel that when people say "is it in the constitution" that they are effectively trying to end the argument and, to quote Molyneux, is "not an argument".
lets say i kill someone that person body will then decay it would be the same state it was when it died but it isnt living either.
