No, that's an opinion, a interpretation. St. George Tucker wasn't the only interpreter of the Constitution and his reading wasn't the only one.

St George Tucker was the FIRST interpreter of Constitutional Law. His View of the Constitution was an annotated version of Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England. He was appointed to the Virginia Supreme Court by President James Madison, and excerpts from his View of the Constitution was admitted as legal defense to the US Supreme Court in recent [and successful] RKBA case District of Columbia vs. Heller.

So I DO believe I'll be taking his word over yours.

It was about respect and dignity. If you can't see where that enters in, that's your problem.

No, It was about the Constitution....you know, the Rule of Law, not the rule of Men.

If you can't see where that enters in, that's your problem.

Give up Mama Texan and bask in your victory, these are big-government conservatives who believe in unlimited submission to the national government. Sadly, when our view triumphs over the tyranny of this national government, they’ll be the first one’s claiming they were on the side of liberty all along...we just misunderstood them.

As I’m sure you know, big government conservatives are VERY similar to big government progressives...they just like their type of big government.
