Comments to: andybowman839@gmail.com Coffeetimecolumn. com Were you one of us who made yourself a promise or a vow for the new year? And then look up, and it is six days into 2023 and you’ve already blown it? Or maybe, you’re one of those people who know themselves well enough that you didn’t even bother wasting brain power on considering making a new year resolution. “Why bother?

Constitutional Minute

Body
The very idea of amendments –– part 1 of 3 Heed the words of Daniel Webster in his 4th of July Oration, 1802: “The politician that undertakes to improve a Constitution with as little thought as a farmer sets about mending his plow is no master of his trade. If that Constitution be a systematic one, if it be a free one, its parts are so necessarily connected that an alteration in one will work an alteration in all; and this cobbler, however pure and honest his intentions, will, in the end, find that what came to his hands a fair and lovely fabric goes from them a miserable piece of patchwork.” Statecraft is serious business which requires systematic study to master.
