Inasmuch as I admire, sympathize, and support his stand on Original Intent, we've had too many craven, myopic careerists march through Washington over the years and practically bury The Constitution Itself in a labyrinth of self-serving reinterpretation. The Republic would have to somehow dissolve and be rebuilt from the ashes in order to honor what The Founding Fathers gave us. To talk about the literal meaning of the articles of the Constitution now, is akin to closing the barn door long after the horse escaped and died of old age.
