Supreme Court and Our Constitution

Our Founding Fathers wanted the Supreme Court nominee to be a lifetime appointment to avoid political interference from whoever is president if they went to a limited term.  However, we see that unfortunately this is not the case and that is why we see the current debate.  The Founders believed that whoever was appointed to the court would interpret cases according to what is written in the constitution.  That is, if the constitution as written does not address the issue, then the ruling should say the issue is unconstitutional.  But we now have Justices who argue that the constitution is over 200 years old and must change to the present times.  Others claim that the only way to change the constitution is through the amendment process that our Founders wrote into the constitution.   The Founders knew, in the future issues may arise and provided a method to make changes.  However, we are witnessing those who believe the constitution is a living, breathing document that changes over the years to meet present day issues.  This way they can get the courts to alter the constitution without following the process outlined in the amendment process.  Rather than have 38 states vote for changing the constitution, the left wants the court to do that.  Thus we see this being played out through the Justice Scalia death.  If courts are allowed to change the constitution, we will lose many of our rights that are supposed be guaranteed in our constitution.  The constitution should only be changed through the amendment process and any other way, we will go the way of Europe where your rights under the Bill of Rights will be diminished.  If you do not think this will happen, you are a fool.  Whether you are a liberal or conservative, you will not want to lose what our constitution has guarantees for over 225 years.  Any appointment must be a strict constitutionalist.
