Everybody who wrestles with the meaning of the law has to deal with the words of the law. The intent of the law is the true objective, so everyone says. But we can’t make it up out of thin air. The words matter. People want to impose a meaning on “natural born citizen” that isn’t in the Constitution. If you say we want to respect the Constitution, how can we do that without paying serious attention to its words? I don’t buy the “Living Constitution” garbage. The words matter.

Peace,

SR
