EXCEPT FOR ONE THING...:
Sharing the secrets of the Constitution (Roger Simon, Jun 28, 2007, Politico)
Don't you wish the U.S. Constitution was not a secret document, its contents known only to a few?Don't you wish there were copies of it that we could distribute to schoolchildren so they could become better citizens? Or maybe we could put it up on the Web for everybody to read?
What? The Constitution is not a secret document? Schoolchildren do learn about it? And it is on the Web?
I don't think so. And I think I can prove it.

Cute article, relating how putatively intelligent people become the "Jaywalk Allstars" when it comes to the Constitution.
If one is not learned in the law, he were well advised to look it up before opening his mouth and removing all doubt as to whether he may be a fool. Guess what: the learned have to look it up sometimes as well.
