I don't think so. He said that the Bill of Rights is not absolute. In my interpretation of that he meant that the rights listed were not 'carved in stone' but subject to change and re-visitation.

Here is an example:

Proposed Amendment:

SECTION 1: In order to fully secure our homeland the following proposal shall be made

SECTION 2: The following articles of amendment to the Constitution of the United States are hereby repealed:
Articles 1 through 9
Article 24

SECTION 3: This article shall be inoperative, unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission.

If we start doing this, we can end up scrapping the whole constitution one article at a time. I for one do not want to slide down that slope.
