Strictly going by a document written by a group of men who lived and died 250 years ago comes with certain problems. Technology has advanced so far beyond what the framers ever envisioned that you are forced to look at things in a different way. I think that's all Bloomberg's saying.

The problem with your way of thinking, is that history repeats itself. Just because something happened a few hundred years ago, doesn't mean it can't happen again. People are still people, regardless of what technologies are, or are not, available to them. Mankind hasn't changed - at all.
The framers of our country, were far wiser then you are I. I reject the notion of a "living constitution". That's just power hungry politician double speak for, "Ill redefine things to how it best suits my agenda, in order to sidestep that damn Constitution and Bill of rights that is always getting in my way, so i get what i want. "
