Very good, indeed! And precisely why in Hollister the Rule 28(j) letter in the appeals court cited Tucker's Blackstone. Tucker, it points out, not only fought in the Revolution on our side after emigrating from Bermuda before the war, he then married the widowed mother of John Randolph of Roanoke, by whom he had two children, so he was quite acquainted with founders and knew whereof he spoke.

Tucker To Horatio G. Spafford (1814)

Blackstone and Hume have made tories of all England, and are making tories of those young Americans whose native feelings of independence do not place them above the wily sophistries of a Hume or a Blackstone. These two books, but especially the former, have done more towards the suppression of the liberties of man, than all the million of men in arms of Bonaparte, and the millions of human lives with the sacrifice of which he will stand loaded before the judgment seat of his Maker.
