      We have a living constitution, a living body of law. Current laws have been bought and paid for, just like judges, representatives, senators…

      The deviation from where we started to where we are was a process of the living and still is for today’s legislators, or more accurately, today’s lobbyists who actually craft the laws and have them at the rest in case the Overton window moves to the point they’re feasible.
