I sent the following letter to the Editor-in-Chief. If I receive any reply, I will post it here. If I get a chance to publish a reply article in the Yale Daily News, I will post the article on FreeRepublic as well.

Dear Sir/Madame,

Back when ice covered the Earth (1963-64) I was a Senior Editor of the Yale Daily News. So, though I don't read it regularly, I pay greater attention to it than most readers who encounter its articles on the Internet. So I started reading the "Constitution Worship" with interest, but it wound up as disgust.

After Yale there was law school, Ph.D. work (currently ABD), and 32 years' practice in the US Supreme Court. I've also published seven books and about 600 articles. You'll probably find two of my books in the Sterling Library, one of them on constitutional law.

I'm not about to write a reply to the "Constitution Worship" article as a letter to you. Several times over the years I've sent a letter to the Chairman of the News (do you still use that title which was Joe Lieberman's in my day?). But I have never received so much as a "thanks for your letter" reply.

If you want a well-grounded, scholarly reply to the article you just published, I will be happy to supply that. Just tell me the length you want, and the date you want it.

I hope to hear from you. The Yale community deserves to have an alternative argument to that presented in this article, as food for thought. But, if I don't hear from you, I'll gather that opposing voices are unwelcome.

Cordially,

John /s/

Thank you billybob.

As for me and my family (extended too), we chose to defend the US Constitution & the republic of the United States of America, from _all_ attacks, foreign or domestic.
