On this Constitution Day, it’s worth considering how it is that the so-called “strict constructionists” or those who strive to find the “original intent” of our founding document might interpret the following passage from the preamble:

as:
“you’re on your own, bitch”
Just a thought as we consider the way forward in our developing society. Ironic that those who presume to have the received wisdom have an interpretation surprisingly close to their own worldview.
