>The Honorable John Jay UNDERLINED what he thought was important so that you, more than a century later, could see it.
Yes, but ‘seeing’ it doesn’t mean that I can read it. (IE maybe my bad eyes, or the script, other factors, or some combination thereof.)
>The Criminals in Black Robes have robbed Americans.
On this we can and do agree. Examples:
— The 25Jun05 decision legitimizing theft and larceny under the governmental-approval of Immanent Domain.
— The refusal to hear allegations against Pr Obama’s eligibility; they could shut everyone up on the matter by doing things by-the-book and verifying his status as a Natural Born Citizen.
— The refusal to hear the complaints of GM/Chrysler bondholders against the unilateral actions of the Executive branch breaching the contracts backing the bonds themselves.
— The refusal to strike down Bills not read, as in the TARP bill or the Cap & Trade bill; how can the Legislature do their job, Constitutionally speaking, if they have not even read the bill on which they vote (and pass)?
And, salt in the wound, what of John Murtha’s on-record actions convicting & condemning Marines in a warzone w/o trial? How much more do you have to do to give aid & comfort to the enemy? Or do we ignore that part and think only of actively waging war on the US as treason?
Here you go (with the exception of two inconsequential words - or more likely abbreviations that I can’t make out):
New York 25 July 1787
Dear Sir,
I was this morning honored with your Excellency’s favor of the 22nd (indecipherable): I immediately delivered the letter it enclosed to Commodore Jones, who being detained by business did not go on the french Sacket, which sailed yesterday.
Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise & reasonable to provide a strong check to the adoption of foreigners into the administration of our national government; and to declare expressly that the command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, or devolved on, any but a natural born citizen.
Mrs. Jay is obliged by your attention, and assures you of her esteem and regard – with similar sentiments the most cordial and sincere,
I remain
Dear Sir
Your faithful friend (indecipherable)
John Jay
His Excellency General Washington
