Henry was past his prime, imo, when he wrote that bit. I fail to see his point.

Henry's point was everything would become a Federal case and we would be ruled by judges, that there was no protection against the constitution meaning whatever judges say it means.

He was correct. Past his prime or not when he predicted what would happen.
