Thomas Jefferson:

1. K & R...nt

[crickets]

2. Timely reminder. K&R

[milestogo]

3. Alito, are you listening?

[c-rational]

5. Perfect. K&R.

[Boomerproud]

6. +infinity.

There should not even be a debate about this. Of course, we live in backward times, incredibly.

[Cozmo]

7. Why this was never pursued, is beyond me.

Ignorance of this statement has sealed our fate

[plimsoll]

10. It's not ignorance.

I'm sure the 6 Inquisitors are aware of the statement, but they are in touch the founding fathers. You see the founding fathers speak to Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Coney Barret, and Roberts.

I thought it was interesting that a GOP candidate was saying not to associate with demon possessed people.

16. :) We should not mistake our personal ignorance for everyone else's.

Or the massive ignorance of the 40% or so who simply don't care enough to know much of anything at all and don't bother to vote as representative of everyone else. Whether we remember this piece or not, we know the constitution always has been used as Jefferson says here because it needs to be in order to work.

As for sealing our fate,...!? Don't We the People have something to do with that? The many who've been fighting hard on many fronts, but overwhelmingly that one, cannot do our part for us when its time comes. It's what everything else leads up to. Us.

We have a lot of dates with destiny.

[Ziggysmom]

8. Did Jefferson write that while he was having sex with Sally Hemings or other slaves?

Barbarous indeed.

[SoFloDenny]

9. I'm so confused.

Am I allowed to like Jefferson now?

[plimsoll]

11. You always have been.

Like every other human being ever Jefferson was both good and bad. You can like his good ideas and reject the bad but you should remember that he had both.

[jcmaine72]

14. "I'm so confused."

Yes, you are. So much so, I bet, that you made a wrong turn somewhere (Probably that pesky left "toin" at Albuquerque that Bugs Bunny always missed) and ended up at DU.

[SoFloDenny]

17. You've been reported.

And now you're being ingored!

[gulliver]

12. A brilliant man who is no doubt talking about intelligent changes

We need a lot more men and women like him, people who speak and lead with wisdom, guided by the good knowledge of our ancestors, wary of the barbarians of the past, and ready to change for the better at all times.

13. About 10 years ago I had the opportunity to visit D.C for about a week

There was some sort of Tea Party convention in town, everywhere you went there were loud, stage voice, conversations about how they were going to start killing the liberals very soon. Everywhere, even Arlington.

Everywhere except the Jefferson Memorial. Here they shut up, not a peep. Because here in front of them was something never mentioned by conservative media, the proof that all their 'constitutional originalism' was utter bullshit. I'll never forget that moment.

[Bayard]

15. K&R
