Unlike many that we've seen so far, where their hearts are in the right place, this one is based on First Principles and is written by a "lawyer, philosopher & logician [and] strict constructionist of the U.S. Constitution."

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a lawyer claim in a legal filing that such-and-such was “in violation of the Declaration of Independence,” and would be wary of any one who did.
