Saw an interesting interview with Justice Scalia on 60 Minutes last night about his view that the US Constitution is a "dead document".

That does allow for the common sense approach to the law I have often held except that so much of the actual law embodied in various US Supreme Court and lower cases and some US and State statutes has very little to do with common sense and more to do with protecting various property and other privileges from the rights of others.

Also have some trouble with letting each state set its own laws on something like water conservation, air quality, oil leasing, nuclear waste dumping, immigration, abortion, prostitution, gambling, etc.
