As yesterday was Constitution Day, where the Framers signed the document 219 years ago, The Evening Bulletin saw it fit to run my column challenging people to see a more holistic view of the document by examining the history that preceded it.

“Looking Beyond The Constitution.”

Excerpt:

“In 1824, Pennsylvania Judge Thomas Duncan upheld in an opinion that Christianity was part of the common law. His opinion is perhaps one of the most telling understandings of religious freedom in America, ‘Christianity, general Christianity, is and always has been a part of the common law of Pennsylvania; Christianity without the spiritual artillery of European countries; for this Christianity was one of the considerations of the royal charter, and the very basis of its great Founder, William Penn; not Christianity with an established church, and tithes and spiritual courts; but Christianity with liberty of conscience to all men.’”

The Washington Times is reporting here that the Republicans are starting to chisel away at the Democrat lead.
