"Sharon" if the "living constitution" is irrational, how much more irrational is the phantom of the founding FATHERS two hundred years after their deaths determining, fixed for all time, how people live their lives today. It is a myth that "originalists" want to live that way under the constitution as they understood it, no one would want to live under that constitution. Though I am fully prepared to acknowledge that your party is not only implementing the notorious 3/5th provision but extending it to black people having 0/5ths representation.
