#7 Nah, TGA - We The People would never sue anyone who actually used our Constitution. You can have it gratis.

[Of course, it would be nice if our government used our Constitution a little more often.... :-( ]

#10 You know, judges have to read up on all these laws...bulky books...
No time left for the slim Constitution.
