Justice Scalia speaks with Peter Robinson on Constitutional interpretation. Those who advocate for a Living Constitution interpretation often miss the fact that it is not society who decides how the Constitution changes, instead the decision is left to a handful of appointed justices. As Scalia points out, the result of this method is that “it’s up to the Court to decide when it morphs and how it morphs.”

For more on methods of Constitutional interpretation, see the following discussion between Justice Scalia and Justice Breyer:
