"You think the founding fathers were cynical and corrupt?"

I want to believe that the Founders were altruistic and divinely inspired in their writings. Yet it is hard to deny that the separation from England was in part motivated by the desire to at least maintain economic and political power among the colonial elite of their time. That is human nature.

Well as I said your question is for a constitutional expert. For people to interpret the intent of the founders by inserting an uninformed opinion is what gets people misinterpreting the whole thing and that’s where trouble starts

It’s human nature to want ones opinion to be respected too, doesn’t make the opinion correct

I never argue a case with an uninformed opinion either mine or tge other guys

I see that on ‘The Five’ and I suppose it happens commonly

Andrea was spouting something on mental illness yesterday and everyone nodded

It was her opinion. She was not quoting a doctor shed spoken with nor a patient. Her opinion

She is a journalist. She has what life experience? She interviewed no one What does she know? But she has an opinion

I turned off the TV. Waste of time

See a constitutional lawyer

I have nothing to add any more than you do
It is an opinion
