Sometimes a person has to let go of something to take hold of something else.

The Constitution created a framework, not a Ouija board, precisely because the Framers understood that prospect of a nation ruled for centuries by dead prophets would be the very opposite of freedom.

The Framers were no more interested in binding future Americans to a set of divinely inspired commandments than any of us would wish to be bound by them.

The fact that the Constitution is sufficiently open-ended to infuriate all Americans almost equally is part of its enduring genius.
