[QUOTE="jdgabbard, post: 2174560, member: 4614"] It doesn't really matter what the #1 expert on the English language says that it means. It is a legal document. And under the Common Law system we have statutory AND case law that defines what (and when) words mean. You have to go back to the legal meaning of the words at the time. And THAT, sir, is why this issue has never and probably never will be resolved. Because the SCOTUS is not willing to put their necks out that far for fear of getting it wrong. [/QUOTE]
