Perhaps this should be a daily feature

Why not just quote the entire document instead of some link?

[Windflier]

Looks good, but it’ll never pass Congress.

[SES1066]

I think that I'd prefer a weekly or monthly work-through of Hillsdale College's U.S. Constitution 101 Course. Take a lesson (10 total) and then discuss.

[VTenigma]

The left recycled the constitution into toilet paper.

I hear a lot of candidates asked questions like ‘Which one of our children should we offer as a sacrifice to MS-13?’

I don’t hear ‘What is your favorite Amendment’ or even ‘What does the 4th Amendment say?’

[Lisbon1940]

They are trying to co-opt it like they did with “rule of law.”

[knarf]

give me your FB address ... I’ll copy and paste the entire thing ..... ok ?

[Ken Regis]

My favorite four words: “...shall not be infringed.“

It’s absolute. Comprehensive. Indisputable.

Yet, it’s constantly under attack.

[teeman8r]

we need to start enforcing the fourteenth amendment section 3 and remove all from office who are voting against the constitution.

[Sacajaweau]

Better yet....Read 55 Men and the Constitution by Rodell.

It gives the background of the Constitution....in lay persons terms.

One of the things that bothered them as they left the table was that the USSC had no check.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I don’t hear ‘What is your favorite Amendment’ or even ‘What does the 4th Amendment say?’

One of my all time wishes is to hit the lottery. That said, my number one entertainment activity would be to set up a table, a camera and mic in my downtown area and ask passers by if they'd like a chance to win $1000.

Of course they'll say yes. My questions would range from, "Recite the preamble to the United States Constitution." to, "Which amendment in the Bill of Rights guarantees protection from illegal search and seizure?"

I could sit down with 10k in cash and by end of day, I speculate that I'd still have 8 to $9k left.

[Sacajaweau]

Please remember that every state at the time....were told to write up their State Constitution BEFORE the Federal Constitution came to be. And a lot of items in the Bill of Rights are mentioned in those Constitutions.

And remember, too, that the Constitution was approved condition upon the Bill of Rights being incorporated.

[PIF]

I posted the entirety on my website decades and decades ago. What’s preventing you from posting the US Constitution on FR? And I do not use FB.

[Hiddigeigei]

Why not just quote the entire document instead of some link? If you include all twenty-seven amendments, it would be a rather large document to post on FR.

[real saxophonist]

I have handed Pocket Constitutions to people, and bet them $100 if they can find the words 'separation of church and state' anywhere in there.

Nobody ever took that bet.

[PIF]

So? There are comments posted on FR that were longer. Stop the excuses, just post it.

Or would you rather I did it, along with the Declaration of Independence?

[knarf]

That was YOUR website.

What's wrong with your right index finger ?

[Psalm 73]

Hillsdale College is going all-out to (re-)educate America on the Constitution.
But Americans have to want it. Not sure that they do, anymore.

[MosesKnows]

bet them $100

Offer the same wager if they can locate the word "democracy".
