This is awesome news regarding passage in the Kansas House!
I find the quote you pulled out profound in many ways... It’s like the purloined letter, really. So easy to see once you know where to look!
I wonder about one thing that may argue against this point of view, but to tell you the honest truth I don’t want to write it here in case it gave the “other side” any ammunition! (no pun intended)
Tis true. There ARE trees in that there forest! ;^)
The Amendments to our Constitution and in particular the first ten are tantamount to "special conditions" placed as addendums to a contract. They expand and/or modify related subject matter in the original document. Small wonder our would be masters hold it in such comtempt. It has really slowed their "progress".
