Attorney General Edwin Meese says about the words used by the people who framed the Constitution that they chose their words carefully and debated minute points at great length, so the words in the Constitutional text are the indicated in each article of it. He also says that, if contemporary judges pour new meaning into old words, they will create new powers and new rights that are at odds with the logic of our Constitution, as the Constitutional rights have already been written and interpreted by the framers.
