\n
Since Liberals like Sotomayor see the Constitution as a “Living Document” that they are free to modify as they see fit, I thought it appropriate to update The Bill of Right \u2013 The Liberal Version<\/em> in honor of her elevation to the council of Kings otherwise known as the Supreme Court. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n
