In another thread, I saw someone accuse libertarians of always holding up the oringial intent of the Constitution as something that should be followed, but we don't say why original intent is the proper way to view the Constitution. So I thought it would make a good poll and possibly a good discussion.
So does the original intent of the founding father's matter anymore? Or has the world moved so far beyond the late 18th century that what the founding father's thought and meant when writing the Constitution is no longer worth considering? Or is it somewhere in the middle?
