A law that allows copyright to be continously extended is
unconstitutional, regardless of the amount of money involved.
"Limited" mean limited, though our politicians appear not to have read
that part.
"Clause 8: To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by
securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive
Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries"
Seems to me that the intention is clear, and any interval beyond one
that "promote[s] the Progress of Science and useful Arts" is tough to
justify.
That's why we have SCOTUS, to declare the intent. But wait, that's got
them in hot water, so now we only want SCOTUS to stop interpreting the
Constitution and only read it verbatim....
