... when the Supreme Court has ruled to uphold rights it has generally been motivated by changing public opinion, not by a textual study of the Constitution.
Perfect. Now it can swing back to the letter, as dictated by changing public opinion.
This guy and the Ku Klux Klarman from Harvard whose scrotum he lubricates are both idiots.
Next!
Professor Klarman made four main points about what he calls "constitutional idolatry". They are (1) that the framers' constitution represented values that Americans should abhor or at least reject today; (2) that there are parts of the constitution America is stuck with but that are impossible to defend based on contemporary values; (3) that for the most part the Constitution is irrelevant to the current political design of the nation; and (4) that the rights that are protected today are mostly a result of the evolution of political attitudes, not of courts using the Constitution to uphold them.
Now they tell us! Of course, pinkos have thought this for something like 5 or 8 decades. But they used to be careful, and cloak the argument in terms of "penumbras of the Constitution" (a favorite Rotacism) of similar BS. Now they're coming out clean in their naked contempt for Jefferson, Madison, and co.
Read the wiki blurb, and weep.
Speaking of which, here is a more interesting story.
Bancroft Prizes, eh? They reward retards?
