Purloined, trafficked and concealed for over two centuries. This last constitution could forever change americas history and its future. So the idea is that the words on that are upstairs in the parchment, those arent clear. But if we could get a hold of some other word that those same people wrote, that would make everything clear. Freedom of religion can date sovereignty, the right to bear arms. These other words are so powerful in the constitution that people are willing to kill for them.

Original intent of the original meaning of original understanding, whatever you call this idea, it is worth asking why so important in our national dialogue. There is a history here. It is particularly american. We did people for the past 200 or 300 years have had a more intense relationship with the christian bible than probably any other people in history.

Time, she was 11 and it was in the middle of a massive heat wave. It was at least 100 degrees, people had died in the city for lack of having airconditioning. No airconditioning in their home so all the lights were off, trying to keep the home cool. She is standing in the middle of her living room in the dark sweating, and i asked her could you tell me about your familys egyptian two years ago . She closes her eyes. This is the story she told me and it is important to say when children tell stories it is important for journalists to fact check them and verify some stuff because childrens memories are not necessarily always the most factual and every single one of her details checked out.
