9. Most of the people in the US that have read the constitution are immigrants

applying for their citizenship, they know more than the rest of us.

I do however, have a copy on a table next to me that I got on a recent trip to DC, mainly to ck the amendments that people refer to.

The maggot is way off in his #s, so I would say he never even read the 2nd amendment or the 30th.

He got the gist of it. Apparently he prefers the old old old old version of the constitution. You know the one before it was messed up with all those "bad" amendments.

I really don't think he knows how, or is otherwise unable to read.

Just a hunch.

because he reaches the right decisions “with very little knowledge other than the knowledge I [already] had, plus the words ‘common sense,’ because I have a lot of common sense and I have a lot of business ability.”
