If there is enough interest in the subject of how the living, breathing, constantly mutating Constitution got the way that it is, I will be writing a bunch more articles about how the Court has scrambled the original meaning of the Constitution. — Clayton E. Cramer

…be VERY interested in seeing such articles.

It would help me in beating ‘idiots’ in Constitutional Law over their stupid heads.

Had an encounter with one such from Denver University in the 1990s. She was addressing the monthly General Meeting of the Denver Chapter of Mensa. We took her appart, piece by piece over HER concept that there were no such thinks as ‘Constitutional Rights’. She proposed that all rights were “textual”. The idea being that you change the text and you can get rid of the ‘right’.

P.S. I do believe that that idea was EXACTLY what that silly, nefarious woman was proposing…..
