When it says "Congress shall make no law" is it an extremist view to understand the constitution to actually mean that Congress shall make no law? Why a document written in the English language actually needs interpretation is beyond me.
When the constitution says that the right to keep and bear arms may not be infringed, for example, a thousand constitutional attornies dance on the head of a pin to explain why my right to keep and bear arms may be infringed after all.
In my humble opinion, this is the root of our downfall. Not pot smoking. The root of our downfall is that we have been taught that the constitution means only what legal experts tell us it means, in the face of plain language.
Translation...'legal experts' = 'lawyers'
'Nuff said.
Oh, and Franklin...er 'Reagan Man', how's Fala? ...Oh, that's right...all dogs go to Heaven. Sorry for asking.
