The Year of Living Constitutionally
One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Constitution's Original Meaning

He discovered that the founders were more open to changing their minds and were more flexible thinkers than we are today.
"
I had always thought well, I could do a very similar book about the Constitution, right? Because it is actually we treat it very similarly. It's this revered document that some people say we have to stick to the exact meaning from 230 years ago.
I said, I'm going to try to go back to basics and understand this document by living it experiencing the original meaning.
He said, the older I am, the less certain I am of my own opinions.
I am the only person I've ever met who is right on every single issue.
And his point was, we're all that French lady. We all have this cognitive bias that we think we're right.

I think a decent hook to start the show might be, and hear me out here, because I think, well, it's actually fortunate, and I'm using air quotes that people can't see on the podcast here, but it's fortunate that you ended up with a rare incurable, life-threatening disease because if you hadn't, I know people are like, whoa, things wouldn't have turned out how they are so far.

She said, you know, we pretend we're a family, but there's always that feeling of like, how could you do the damage you did by telling the story that wasn't true?
