By Wesley Pruden"Once upon a time we could count on lawyers and law school professors to defend the First Amendment, the most important 46 words in the Constitution. Those 46 words make everything else possible. Shut up the people and the government can shut down every other freedom.
The genius of the Founding Fathers was their ability to write the Constitution in the plain English that everybody could understand. Lawyers can employ entire boring paragraphs to say "good morning;" many young women have dozed off while their lawyer swains were on their knees with a proposal of marriage."
