Ah, but all I have done, sir. is to look at who the best authorities are, and are not.
So what you really mean is that in your view, that’s all the trouble the best evidence is worth, isn’t it?
I will now step aside and let you have the last word in this exchange, big man.
One thing of which we can all be sure, if they were Present at the constitutional convention, or a Legislator present at ratification, they are most likely not one of YOUR authorities.
Your "authorities" are generally of the "camp follower" sort.
So what you really mean is that in your view, that’s all the trouble the best evidence is worth, isn’t it?
The "Best evidence" is statements and acts written and committed by Constitutional Delegates and Ratifying Legislators. You have very little of that. But if you want the opinion of some misinformed English, Spanish or French guy, you are the first person I would call upon.

You? Shut your mouth? I'll see it when you do it. I shan't be surprised if you are unable. It is a mental disorder with you, I think.
