"As for leftists, their version of a "living document" is at worst a lie and at best a rationalization, which is when you lie to yourself. What really bothers them is not that the correct perspective yields a "dead" Constitution; it's simply that they find the process necessary to make it come alive an impediment to their aims. As the euphemistically named Equal Rights Amendment proved, convincing a majority of today's Americans that we should dispense with the majority will of all generations of Americans isn't easy. Thus, leftists want to transfer as much decision-making power from the people to the judges, thereby enabling five Black Robes to do with the stroke of a pen what a billion-dollar activism campaign might not accomplish.
And to justify this malfeasance, such jurists are given fancy names, such as "pragmatist." But I have a different name for them.
Un-American."
