[Springfield Reformer]

Whatever. I don’t really care what a non-founder has to say, other than as a datum of interest to subsequent events, when better evidence, directly from the founders’ own pens, is available (and much of it on the internet – what a surprise!). Best evidence rule.

The naked truth is, you just don’t want to respond to the founders themselves, so you have contrived a “kill the messenger” attack on me. Hey man, if that floats your boat, fine. Alinsky would be proud.

So John Marshall, Lieutenant to the Culpepper Minutemen, Lieutenant in the Continental Army 11th Virginia Regiment, member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 1782-89, Member of the 1788 Virginia Ratifying Convention, private attorney practicing before the Supreme Court during the Washington Administration, member of the Virginia House of Delegates again from 1795-1796, personal friend of George Washington, and appointee as Chief Justice of the United States by John Adams, was a "non-founder."

Curious.

In fact, almost as curious as your quotes, which say nothing even remotely resembling what you purport them to say.

It all attests to one of two possibilities: you are horrendously ignorant of American history, or you are delusional. The former is more easily corrected than the latter, but it requires the afflicted to recognize it and seek betterment for himself. That is also a difficult task when the former exists in the presence of the latter, which I fear may be your case.
