I understood I was speaking an orginalist form of the Constitution, which I think is, even in this manner, a form that even Clarence Thomas would agree with.

I was personally noting to myself how, in my lifetime, it seems to me, personally that the lives of people like Jackie Robinson (and the 15 black players joining the majors by 1959), Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis Junior, and even Cassius Clay and many others like them did more for "integration" than all the "civil rights" laws on the books (outside of the voting rights act, (even with its great flaws)).

Yes, we have strayed far from the "original intent."

Real people bring about living reform. Government "reform" brings about ossification and eventually tyranny.
