I hate that argument. The Constitution was written based on principles where application could be derived.
In other words, my perspective is that it's NOT a living, breathing document; however, society is so the interpretations have to take things into consideration.

I'm glad you don't think it's a living document. Too many people believe that.
I agree that there have to be interpretations of our rights based on applications. No right is unlimited. However, too many people want to "interpret" a right away (practically speaking) rather than change the Constitution. It's why we don't need activist judges on the court.
