Are you dismissing the notion of original intent?
She wasn’t a signer of the Constitution ... in fact came more than a century later.
Those signers of the Constitution! Endowed by God Almighty with righteousness, candidates all for sainthood. A more perfect document than the American Constitution has never existed and will not exist. Except for the Bible, that foundational Christian document on which this nation was founded by clear-eyed pragmatic settlers, erndowed with the right to filter those worthy and those not, such as Melania's parents. Shut off the lamp beside the golden door!
The incription was good 120 years ago. Maybe we should just pack up the statue of liberty and the plaque so we can ship them back to France. Tell them it is wussy and lame. That location would make a great location for a Saudi/Russian financed Trump hotel... what a view!
Turning all the world’s “refuse” into hard-working Americans is quite simplistic ... and may have worked to an extent before the US became a gigantic welfare state. But now it smacks of romantic idealism and clearly works not as well as in 1900.
I agree. I was just making the point that deciding what documents have lost meaning and which are still precisely correct is difficult. I would get birthright citizenship out of the constitution to crack the ice.
