Why don't Conservatives realize the Constitution is confusing because it's old?

[Ezra Klein]

My friends on the right don’t like to hear this, but the Constitution is not a clear document. Written 100 years ago, when America had thirteen states and very different problems, it rarely speaks directly to the questions we ask it.

[Angel's Memory]

We see it as The Law of the Land. And it's the best document ever written by an American.

 

[Bob G...The return of]

It is only unclear to those of limited understanding and mental acuity. The constitution is fine, just the way it is.

The questions you ask it are outside the intended scope of the federal government and should never be asked of it.

 

[Lear 45]

It's been used for 235 years until 0bama came into office! Seems to have worked up until then!

 

[John Q Public]

Yeah, lets burn it and create a socialist utopia! You idiot.

 

[Hermione]

Look, I've read your other questions and they are as stupid as you are. You really need to educate yourself before looking like an idiot in front of the rest of the world. I'm serious. Every one of your questions get stupider and stupider. I'm trying to help you, man.

The Constitution is CLEAR AS CRYSTAL. How about READING it??

 

[Sean Vetter]

Not "confusing" but rather illogical & quite impractical: Let's run a 21st century society by 18th century rules.

 

[Dominick Dunsel]

The problem is people like you are not smart enough to understand it.

 

[Calvin]

It is not confusing....it is quite clear.

It is, in fact, what the states have agreed to as to governance....and to dismiss it is to dismiss the union itself.

 

[American Revanchist]

We conservatives want to keep the Constitution because we know all those big words in it confuse liberals.

 

[Robert Benson]

100 years ago? hope that's a joke dumb-ass. Try reading it, it's pretty self explanatory.
