It has been discussed in a recent lecture as to the validity and meaning of the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court of the United States presently has the ability to make final decisions regarding the enforcement of our Constitution. I feel that this is why we have the ability to amend the Constitution as required. The fact is nine judges have the ability to manipulate and rule on the wording of our Constitution does not give the document any enforceable right. All lawyers, judges and law professional have their separate beliefs on how law is interpreted. They will research other case laws, statutes and rulings to see how a decision is to be ruled.
In a the recent decision (2005) of the Kelo case the Supreme Court took the interpretation of "Public Use" to a new extreme. The wording in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution was not taken literally rather was "interpreted". I'm not on board that we should abolish or rewrite the United States Constitution. I would suggest making the wording more concrete so that we do not get caught up in the semantics of what is actually meant. It would not be a very wise decision to redraw a founding principle in the creation of the United States, yet it would best suite us to clarify the meaning, so that decisions can be based on the true meaning
