I do not find you to be a traitor. You have your opinion based on how you interpret what you have read. We all interpret differently and unfortunately, we can not be the determining factor on what is and isn’t the intent of our founders when it comes to this clause.

I only hope that one day the decision will be made. For the benefit of our country, it better be a good and just decision!

I do have to say this has been an eye opener for many and it has forced us to all learn about our Constitution which they do not even teach in our schools any longer. I remember having to recite the Declaration of Independence (I believe it was in 5th grade). I was extremely proud to have accomplished it, but I was not happy to do it at the time. I now wish they continued this to this day. My 3 kids did not partake in any reading of the Constitution, Bill of rights, Declaration, seats of Congress or the 3 branches of government and why they are there, which we all had to know as well. I’ve had to teach them all this which is fine, but I do believe this should be introduced in school.

Wow, really? My daughter just completed reviewing the Bill of Rights in History (8th grade, Texas). The students participated in a written, mock Con-Con. My daughter decided through that process that she would not have ratified the Constitution without the Bill of Rights because the central government would have had too much power.

I was as proud as a peacock.
