Abstract

Until every person seeking to interpret the Constitution recognizes that constitutional interpretation is a quintessentially human endeavor, based on human assumptions and human reasoning, I will remain to protect those who seek to hide their predilections, their personal choices. I will continue to change as time passes. My form will continue to change to meet the needs of those who seek my cloak of objectivity and seek to redefine and improve me. I am a human invention created to pretend that constitutional interpretation is not a human endeavor.

I am what each disciple wants. I am what each disciple needs. I am ten letters in a particular order available for any disciple, for use by any disciple, for definition by any disciple. I am all things to all my disciples.
