Yeah, I got a question.  You write those  yourself, or did an FF beat you to it?

Wrote them myself.  What's a FF?

I spend a lot of time arguing with Anti's, (including my wife), so I'm always looking for leverage.  The 'amendments' are supposed to show that each could stand alone, using the same language as the 2nd and the second should stand alone with the wording of the 1st.

Like your sig says.  It's not about duck hunting.

Look around and see if you can find the amendments as originally proposed.

You forgot this one:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

Does that mean the states? or the people as a mass?  [;D]

I can't believe people are confused by the word 'people'  [:(!]
