That the Constitution is a living document means it can be actually changed, via amendments.
It is the "open to interpretation" argument and the development of case law that makes it so that the very first words of the Bill of Rights, the first amendment to the Constitution, clearly stating: "<b>Congress shall make no law</b> respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" somehow means a "wall of separation between church and state". I really don't see what congress passing laws has to do with <a href="[

If you don't like what it says, have it amended.
How's that expression go... "Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining."
