“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”
— John Quincy Adams
Adams would never support the course you propose so don’t believe you can make those who know ANYTHING about him.
“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual—or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.”
— Samuel Adams
Samuel Adams did not support the Constitution so I really don’t care what he thinks.
It is generally those on the losing side of an argument who start floundering around for quotes they believe support them. Normally when they are put into context and within their historical era they do not.
Yep, but unlike you I haven't had my opinions interpreted by lawyers. The people who make a living convincing people that what they know is not true.
