Thought for the day:
"Constitutions are not designed for metaphysical or logical subtleties...They are instruments of a practical nature, founded on the common business of human life, adapted to common wants, designed for common use, and fitted for common understandings. The people make them; the people adopt them; the people must be supposed to read them, with the help of common sense."
-Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story
Story was an amazing justice, appointed to the Supreme Court by President James Madison [ummm, the "father" of the Constitution] also happened to be an anti slavery advocate - and, of all things, a Republican.
