Life and Stuff

If I was presented with the opportunity to have lunch with any three people, I would choose James Madison (primary author of the U.S. Constitution), George Washington (leader of the Constitutional Convention), and John Roberts (current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court).  Modern day judges have nothing but speculation of our founding fathers’ intentions upon which to base today’s court decisions.  It would be truly fascinating if a representative from our current age could probe the original authors’ motivations and clarify the interpretations of the Constitution as it is applied today.  It would also be astounding to hear Madison and Washington’s perspectives on current issues that they could never have foreseen, such as the widespread use of various technologies.
