well, no, actually...

I'm also going to challange your assertion to Jim about Madisons quote, as well! ;^D

-According to Harhard Law Schools Society for Law, Life and Religion; the quote by Madison, that Jim put up is accurate.

"We've staked the whole future of American civilization not on the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capacity of each and all of us . . . to Govern ourselves according to the commandments of God. The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded."-- James Madison

Some guys who put up a web site got it from the same place everyone else gets it? That serves to reinforce my point.

It's a law student society; the quote is unreferenced. Their web page hasn't ben updated in 2 years. This is your idea of a credible source?

Dear me.

I just got this from the president of the society

Dear (Right Wing Professor)

I have no idea what you are talking about. We fully upgraded and updated our website last night, about an hour before you sent us your email, so I don't know if you're referring to a quote that used to be on our website, but it's not there anymore.

What a coinkidink! Not revised for two years, and then revised right after it was quoted on FR!

This doesn't, of course, prove that the quote is bogus - it would be impossible to do that without searching every word Madison wrote in his entire life - but it does eliminate Harvard Law School as corroboration. I think it would be wiser to treat the quote as 'suspect' if not actually 'busted'
