Interesting to see how it plays out, over and over.

Today is Constitution Day, in case you didn’t know. Sen. Byrd inserted (2005) in an omnibus funding bill a requirement that recipients of federal dollars observe Constitution Day. So what was optional is now required. And so every campus has to make a nod to Constitution Day. Which becomes an occasion for student groups to hold sessions on “voter rights,” i.e. voter registration, etc., and for Annenberg and Pew to develop “resources” for the Day:

“Question 10 – Do we need an Equal Rights Amendment?

“Expert Commentary: Justice Ginsburg explains what the Equal Rights Amendment was and why so many people thought it should have been ratified.”

Ad infinitum nauseamque.

Great book. Thanks for reflecting upon it.
