Great piece. That statement of Justice Ginsburg’s, “I will take enlightenment when I can find it,” was breathtakingly scornful and dismissive of the Constitution. It is also, as your article says, a superb summary of the liberal attitude to it.

But I am now giving Mr. Crocker a standing ovation in the former quiet of my office! Perhaps The Grand Klagon (or whatever he was) Senator Byrd will make this article required reading on his day of teaching the Constitution.
