(Luther Martin was a skilled courtroom lawyer. One of my references cited Max Farrand as to Mr. Martin being little more than a “placeman” for Samuel Chase, who nominated Mr. Martin for Attorney General and delegate to the Convention. Whatever the case, Mr. Martin’s purpose appeared to be to obstruct and oppose progress toward a republic. He was also a fervent States’ rights advocate who viewed them, not the people, as sovereign. States were as equal in the civil system as people were among themselves. They should thus have equal votes. The people granted certain powers to State governments that could not be taken back. His passionate speech may have swayed the typical jury, but his listeners were anything but typical. It was a harangue that ill served the Small State cause.) Wow. That's politics, isn't it?
After reading this, I tried to imagine a person who I would be willing to listen to for three hours. Ann Coulter? Sarah Palin? Maybe. If I had to listen to Obama for three hours I would end up with psychological problems, but not as bad as his or his followers.
I gather that the pubs had a robust business after the convention adjourned that day.
