Worth repeating …

"The Constitution is not a living organism. It's a legal document, and it says what it says and doesn't say what it doesn't say."

Kind of weird thinking of it as alive and somehow consuming things and reproducing.

This is in response to people who claim it's a "living document," meaning that it can be changed at a whim. It's not, and it can't. It is a legal document, a contract, and it cannot be altered apart from the very specific steps that are outlined within the document.
