LOL! I knew Hage had become a land rights folk hero of some sort. I do work for a living, so my brief google effort had not yet turned up this book. I am not at all surprised to find it, and even less surprised that in all my study of law I'd never run across it. I'm not saying it's good or bad. I've never read it. But after the Vande Pol article, I have no intention of taking it seriously on your say so.

As for your specious allegation of hyperbole, the "poison pill" comment comes directly from Vande Pol's own words, not mine:

"Frankly, I think such wishful thinking is a sort of vanity, where that “original meaning” is elevated to what they believe or wish it to have meant, when in fact that text might instead have been a deliberately-hidden poison pill (hence my comment re commas in the supremacy clause in Treaty Law: The Constitution's Original Trojan Horse, posted on this site)."

Such an accusation is tantamount to a charge of treason. If you think you can support such nonsense, have at it. I have better things to do with my time than subvert the Constitution on FR's bandwidth.

Have a good evening.

Peace,

Then you're out on a limb here on FR. The reception to the first version of this article went for over 120 posts.

Such an accusation is tantamount to a charge of treason.

You continue to ignore what is posted to go on with your bogus claim. I said that it was a choice made under duress. There was a reason Franklin had minders posted to him for the entire convention. There was a reason the Federalists made sure Jefferson was out of the country. There was a reason Henry did not attend. As to whether it is radical to accuse Hamilton of perfidy, a Google search of "Alexander Hamilton" and "traitor" turns up 1.5 million pages.
