Shall we put things in a bit of context?

The Constitution was written in 1787 and ratified in 1791, 231 years ago. This was a few years before Napolean concurred the Republic of Venice. It would be about another 80 years before the invention of the telephone and the automobile. In other words its old.

Since then it has been amended only 27 times most recently in 1992.

The Supreme Court is charged with impartially evaluating laws to ensure their constitutionality. This is an impossible task by definition. The further away from 1791 we get the more difficult it is to apply constitutional principles to current issues. Sure, some of the core concepts seem valid, but those who wrote the document couldn't have imagined the current context of our world. It's no wonder personal ideology is becoming more of a force in the Court.

It's the job of the federal legislature along with the ratifying power of the states to amend the Constitution bringing it more in line with contemporary political, moral and social positions.

Unfortunately, we have done such a good job of demonizing those we disagree with, that principled respectful debate is no longer possible. Thus, we are stuck.

As Pogo famously quipped, "We have met the enemy and he is us."
