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.

I just think that people see the Constitution as rigid (which I agree), and think that the applications must be equally rigid, despite the fluidity of society (Internet and implications on speech).
Even the strongest originalists recognized this, but they still come from an originalist perspective.
