Ribit,
absolutely right.
The wording of the Constitution was INTENTIONALLY DECIDED to be in PLAIN SIMPLE ENGLISH so it is straightforward for the very reason that EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN can read it and understand it.
There are no DARK SECRETS OR MEANINGS lurking behind the words.
It says exactly what it mean and it means exactly what it says. Nothing more or less.
Politicians always want to read things into it that either it DOES NOT SAY or was not intended to address.
IT IS TO BE TAKEN QUITE LITERALLY...
Over educated moron is absolutely spot on....
