Take the Constitution quiz. I got 10/10 in the first round, 46/50 in the second: http://www.constitutionfacts.com/quiz.htm
I've been studying the constitution of late but only to note all the amendments that this misadministration has violated.
Here's a reminder for you and your fellow librarians:
Banned book week
http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/bannedbooksweek/bannedbooksweek.cfm
This came to light as Sarah Palin tried to get books banned in Alaska.
Can you think of any books that were banned?
All I could come up with was Fanny Hill.
Demeur - A number of challenged books appear here: http://tinyurl.com/6x5etr or http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/bannedbooksweek/challengedbanned/frequentlychallengedbooks.cfm#infobanned
Roger,
I'm not sure the Federalist Papers concur with your "primacy" theory. Is the "Father,Son, and Holy Spirit a ranking?
If you are correct, how do you square that with an "activist" Supreme Court philosophy?
As for Demeur, if your studying the Constitution, you might want to note that the first ten "amendments" are listed as the Bill of Rights, not the Constitution.
wmb: Certainly - there were founders who had differing views, even the 3 writers of the Federalist. My point is that the document decided that the "people's representatives" should come before the executive.
I think the "activist court" mantra is a myth. Or it's been an activist court since 1803. Its job to interpret law suggests that laws have to be written (by Congress) and generally signed (by the President) before they interpret it.
Are not the amendments part of the Constitution? Article 5 would suggest so.
I emailed you my request, thanks Roger! Off to take the Constitution quiz...
