Why does god let them do that?
Suppose you were a constitutional scholar. Respected among your peers. Author of books. Papers. Professor at a prestigious university. Advisor to presidents and supreme court justices.
Got the picture in mind?
Now, suppose further that you are being interviewed on Meet the Press, and some yahoo makes some remarks about something being "unconstitutional".
Would you correct the person based on what you know to be true about the constitution? Would that be confirmation bias?
Look, we all base our evaluations of what others tell us based upon what we know. Either things "fit" or they don't.
Now, either you want to share some experience or you don't.
What I do with it should not matter to you.
