I’m pretty sure my amended 7th Amendment would cause a stir.
Sorry, 8th.
lol
this is a “target rich environment” ripe for abuse. Consider the possibilities.
This reminds me if a graduate course that I took in Solid State Physics. The first day of class the professor asked us to think about if we were “king for a day” what would you do first? Then present our thoughts during the second class, with the caveat that there is no “wrong answer”, but you had to support your position logically.
So in thinking about it, I decided to be controversial but altruistic in my own quirky way.
The majority of students said that the first thing they would do is.... make themselves rich beyond the dreams of avarice. A couple said they would help the poor and that kind of gibberish.
Then it came me.
I said that the first thing I would do is: execute everyone on death row. The entire class gasped in horror.
My retort was, it did not directly benefit me, it did not directly benefit anyone who was still alive and it had nothing to do with money.
When queried by another student as to why I didn’t make myself rich first, I said that I was already king and there are 24 hours in a day. I could make myself rich at 23:59, and that this was a test of character which most of them failed.
You should have seen them. The abject hatred of me in that room was as thick as peanut butter. I laughed my butt off at them as I ran rings around them all semester.
This is the way being used to Obama’s ‘change’.
"When I asked my child what the assignment was to teach her she had no idea. Only that she was TOLD to do it. She didn’t even understand what the Amendments meant."
Clearly not the right teacher for this assignment.
