They abandoned your interpretation of the fundamentals almost as soon as there was money in the treasury.

It’s a interesting exercise to talk about it, but it is my view that to do so would require the total destruction of the existing body of law and a reboot of the constitution along with numerous amendments that would serve the purpose of guiding the natural tendencies of men.

If we had, for example, used strict constructionism as the only view of the constitution, we would have had by now, hundreds of amendments and not just 27.

Should the government fall and be reconstructed, I would be in favor of that, but I don’t expect to be living when/if that occurs. So to me, it science fiction.. But often science fiction comes true.

It's my view that you're not proposing anything that isn't going to eventually turn out to be much worse.
