BUT, the social planners in the Fed.gov would say of course that the gold standard would “tie their hands” in financial affairs, just like they now maintain that our Constitution is outmoded and ties the hands of “Progressive” government!

A veteran federal judge claimed that he sees “absolutely no value” for a judge to study the Constitution in a recent op-ed for Slate.

Richard Posner, a member of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit and a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, wrote, “I see absolutely no value to a judge of spending decades, years, months, weeks, [days], hours, minutes, or seconds studying the Constitution, the history of its enactment, its amendments, and its implementation.”
