Ask Jeeves no Ask the Court

ø

Every day one justice should sit behind a computer and answer questions about the Constitution for the public. This is my proposal for making the Court more accessible. I can you see the “teapartiers” lining up now.

I asked the Court they told me to check back after Florida and New York give me an answer!

Blasphemy… your unAMerican. I bet you dont believe in the Second Amendment either?!

I carry two, not one but two copies of the Constitution with me at all times. One with all theses cool quotes. Like did you know that “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Ya I know me either. And the other is the boring one with only the Constitution in it ( I know boooo!) Well anyways, I know the “Constitution matters” ( my thesis advisor wrote a book on it so I have to say that). But for more than two centuries the document has regulated the affairs of our country and our democracy but are the fundamentals still right for the country as it currently exists. Isn’t it an 18th century solution to an 18th century problem?
