    Don’t worry, the supreme court will soon reinterpret it to mean something completely different.

      Thomas: “The founding fathers clearly indicated that they wanted some light molestation between the states, as women were property back then. This is no different from inspecting wheat when it enters the country.”

      Gotta love the Supreme Court nowadays… if you want to change the rules just cozy up to them and ask them to do it for you.

      Yes. The text says one thing, but what did the founders intend? Surely not the literal words. Only Clarence and pals will know after a seance. The first part of the ritual is, of course, receiving millions of dollars from billionaires.

      Yeah, the “originalist” council of clerics on the “supreme” court have special insights into such things.
