I take the time to patiently lay out the elementary facts which prove my contention, and that's your response?
Look, friend. It's not my intention here to 'make' you wrong (oops - there's that word again). I'm merely pointing out that you have a simple misunderstanding of the grammar and word usage in that one particular passage of the Constitution.
It's simply an error. You needn't be so embarrassed by it, and there's no need to attack me over it.
Simple fact.
Since gold and silver is the only legal tender, the States can coin their own. And “Make”-produce, it.
You quote a dictionary that is out of date with the dictionary of the time the constitution was ratified.
The Congress sets the value. On that I would agree. But since the Federal government has disobeyed the constitution, then the states have the constitutional authority to MAKE their own currency..all they have to do is pass legal tender laws in each state.
If you persist in your thinking, then you dont obey the constitution either and is as guilty or more so than the federal government.
BTW. Much as I hate to admit it, The founders meant that the bill of rights pertained ONLY to the Federal Government.
Read up on that one.
