I guess the surprise is who it comes from as usually you expect from someone teaching in a university to at least know the bottom line, there are no flaws, The Founding Fathers had an extensive knowledge of man kind, no illusion and a petty opinion of the powerful today called the top both the top they knew and the top they expected. Thought everybody knew.... to understand the Constitution you have to read the federalist papers and the letters they wrote to one another, the philosophy behind is not just about tyranny that is for sure a flawed understanding of the Founding Fathers will.... They knew a new kind of powerful would eventually emerge making their way and grabbing one by one the joysticks of power while step by step confiscating the People Freedoms and Rights, they knew the powerful would be again in a situation to govern against the People's interests. So yes the Bill of Rights and the Constitution were written and adopted with in mind the future and steps to insure the balance of powers would ultimately stay on the People's side. Why these men chose to decide that the People has more wisdom than the top remains a mystery but that is where they wanted the power to be whether or not that cause or can cause some headaches to the top is frankly very very secondary. Since the Founding Fathers were at some point the powerful and the top, their expertise of the possibility of the lack of wisdom and credibility at the top is not only precious but help to understand why they wanted the Constitution to be a powerful tool to fight the top's order and why there is a possibility for the legislature to deny the funds the Gov wants.
Would you agree on that  and what are your plans r u still coming for the FCNM celebrations?
