They are not the "thinking of a bygone era"; they are an inheritance with which we are encouraged to reach for a just society in which all people are equal, government power over us is limited, and liberty prevails. <BR/><BR/>If the people wish to revise or alter those principles, that is their right by leglislation or initiative; but changes to fundamental principles should not be imposed by the courts.<BR/><BR/>And the more rapidly society appears to evolve, the more important it becomes for the courts to refer to the fundamental consitutional principles that got us this far.Michael J.
