The Statists are relativists in a bad way: they find nothing special about the Constitution, that the premier legal document and foundation for American jurisprudence grows out of the Founders believe that God made humans, made the world, and operates the world and human affairs under natural law.
Statists believe that the Constitution is living and breathing, meaning whatever it is that they deem it means to match their current political agenda and policies requiring Constitutional justification.
Levin dismisses this highhanded, crooked intellectual sleight of hand on Page 53, Liberty and Tyranny: "The Statist is not interested in what the Framers said or intended. He is interested only in what he intends or says."
