Radar, you keep telling us what this or that particular passage "refers to" ??? If it is so clear, then why do you have to keep explaining what it means, is applicable to, defining or relegating?
I was thinking about what UT showed us a few days back - we are all wrong! Those guys were way ahead of us and foresaw these very same arguments that we are having today. Thats why some argue that passages or phrases in the constitution are intentionally vague. Perhaps they entrusted future leaders to do the right things and apply the "implied meaning" to the current world or situations.
Certainly they didn't want us to stagnate in our thoughts and ideas or our direction for this most awesome country. I hope that we as a people have the ability and wisdom to, as a collective, choose those leaders.
