They should’ve subpoenaed Helen Thomas. She was there as the court reporter.

Its ideals in and of themselves may not be highly regarded these days but that hardly makes the document itself crap surely.

Is it a copy created by the duplication “thingy” that Jefferson came up with? I saw it when I toured Monticello.

I believe the thingy was called a facsimile, but only made one copy at a time while the writing was being done. Outside of that I think most copies were done by hand.

I’m surprised the courts knew what the hell the document was.
