WWTJD...What would Jefferson do?
WWMD.....What would Madison do?
WWFD.....What would Franklin do?
If they were against it, (and the readings of Madison's explanation of the Sixth Amendments make it quite clear he was against this sort of thing.), then so am I.
And NO ONE alive today, least of all you or me, is as brilliant as these men were. We have no right to alter their visions...for any reason.
Were those folks for or against slavery?
Talk about a straw man!!!!!!
INDEED we have a right a RESPONSIBILITY to alter their visions when time shows reality. Slavery was not proper and time showed us all that....and we took action to make the situation more proper. As we should do. Right?
