Ahh yes, exactly what we need. A dead document on delivery that lays out whats allowed and what's not, whatever happends next be damned.
The constitution was written the way it was for some very good reasons. What do you suppose is going to exist, say 100 years from now? Do you think 100 years ago anyone forsaw 3d printing? The Internet? Cell Phones? Nuclear weapons? Jet Fighters that can exceed the speed of sound?
If you write a document like that, ridged, unforgiving, you end up with something that works for about 10 years then needs to be rewritten. Abstract interpretation is very important. Its also clearly a huge problem when people take things like "secure in your papers in effects" to not cover things like Email and IM conversations, but thats more because we're a bunch of corrupt jerks than anything else.
We're just experiencing the very thing they forsaw when they wrote this thing, eventually people will corrupt anything you give them. Eventually, you're left with little choice than to take over and redo large parts of the goverment. The nice part is we have legal, non-lethal means to do that, right now. The problem is they're not being used, yet. It remains to be seen if they ever will be.
