@ Thanks for the link!

The bottom line is the fact that The US Constitution was put into
place to GUARD absolute (self-evident) truth - "We hold these truths
to be self-evident...".

Those who have rejected the law of non-contradiction, and believe
that everyone is entitled to his own truth, are intent on undermining
our Constitution. Those are the people who are found spouting the
mantra: "The Constitution is a living document", for one reason - it
stands in the way of their agenda.

One of the definitions of peace is the absence of a threat. Those
who really don't want trouble have a choice - don't make yourself a
threat to our freedoms.
