Well, we all disagree with him on the immigration issue. But surely you believe that access to the internet is a right clearly defined in the Constitution.

Surely you remember the raging debate over the New Jersey Plan at the Philadelphia Convention? John Dickinson and Roger Sherman came to blows over whether or not a Constitutional Right for Internet Access would allow for dial-up or if it had to be High Speed.

In the end it was Hamilton - just back from New York - and Madison who forged the "Great Connectivity Compromise" that said as long as there are Publicly Accessible T-1 lines at every public library it is acceptable that 1/3 of homes in any given county be provided with only dial up.

Truly our Founding Fathers were great in their foresight!
