You are kidding, right?!

You accuse me of slander and then say that no apology is needed, and provide #312 as an "example"?!

Either I slandered someone or I didn't. I don't see it, and I asked you nicely to show me where I so did.

Now I'm thinking that perhaps I'm not the one who needs to apologize...

What part of making false accusations against libertarians don't you get? If it's not clear, then it provides insight into why you hold to the claims of the proponents of the living Constitution. That happens to be a topic you introduced into the thread. At minimum AJA, takenoprisoner and myself gave and posted support for our positions. It includes the public explaination of the meaning of the phrase, made at the time of by the founders.

Several libertarians(?) have given you the original meaning, that carries much weight, because it is what was made known to the folks that signed the document into law. It's clearly given in the above posts and AJ's post of Madison's public explaination is given in #341. If you want to promote the living version of the Constitution, then you'll have to post substantiation for that interpretation. That would allow the claims and arguments they made, to be clear and open to examine for falsehoods and logical fallicy.
