Bravo.
If our Constitution is “living,” is always evolving to reflect the ideas of the current generation, what gives the Court the confidence that the Constitution hasn’t evolved beyond the need for it? Maybe we needed a Supreme Court in 1787, but now we have evolved beyond the need of those dead people. After all, that was over 200 years ago. We have evolved a lot since then.
p>Now that we know eminent domain can be used to raise the tax base, what about turning the current building into a restaurant and health spa. Great location on Capitol Hill; I bet the tax revenues would be fantastic. br> —
