As originally intended by the Framers. Can that original intent change without the actual words changing?
By the way, great posts throughout this and other related threads Andy, Kudos. Gave me much to think about. Thank You.
And in that light this will spur me to make a post that will be cast on the winds of the politics forum - an important thought experiment for my own curiosity and also to get the masses out of the doldrums and into a free thinking mode, or not.
