Are you a carpenter, or a constitutional lawyer? It means what it says, and history proves it.

I was trying to be lighthearted RV. But, since you asked. When I went to school we studied civics. I was taught the constitution was written in clear and simple terms so that the average American citizen could comprehend the founding father's true meaning. It literally took a Philadelphia lawyer to wrangle and distort the meaning to the point where it is the jumbled mess interptretation wise, it is today. Hence, the liberal argues to redefine it, and in some cases, to rewrite it in order to facilitate their own ends. Just guessing here, I suppose you mean history from the Johnson Era forward?
