(Explanation for the multiple edits: posted as an image because DU refuses to post the actual text
This will be replaced by my response, if this actually posts. I've been getting 403 errors and some danish/english page translation.
ETA #1: Still getting 403 error for the substance of the post.
ETA #2: Third attempt
ETA #2: Fourth attempt - I'll try posting my response as a reply to my post.
ETA#4: Same response when I posted as a response to my reply - and when I tried to run spellcheck. I've now retyped it.
ETA #5: I give up. Even retyping the text gives a 403 error (despite being able to respond and edit using different words, as well as post in a different thread). If someone in the support or help forums can figure it out, I'll try a 6th time.
ETA #6: I've found a work-around - an image of what I was trying to post.)

Why Feb 20, 2025? Why not the day it was signed? Is 2/20 the date Heritage Foundation wrote it?
