Just a little quote to get us started:
"Crying constitution is a minor American art form. “This is my copy of
the Constitution,” John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, said at a Tea
Party rally in Ohio last year, holding up a pocket-size pamphlet. “And
I’m going to stand here with the Founding Fathers, who wrote in the
preamble, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain
unalienable rights including life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.’ ” Not to nitpick, but this is not the preamble to the
Constitution. It is the second sentence of the Declaration of
Independence."
From chapter 5 - "We the Parchment."
Zing.
