Ollie - you came to the major issue in US Supreme court doctrine - do we interpret it literally in the context of the 1787 world where it was written, or do they apply it to todays world. Even in 1787 there were issues - many of the framers who wrote "All Men Are Created Equal" were slave owners.....
