36. We have now gone full circle to the fact you did not read the article in my original post...

There was someone who by this statement indicated what you are now questioning as having been indicated:

"I have read what James Madison had to say on the subject. In the Federalist Papers. Since he is the one who wrote the 2nd I go by what he said not someone with an agenda trying to interpret him 220 years later."

From that statement, it seems clear only you and James Madison can accurately interpret 'what James Madison had to say" leaving out the USSC who try to interpret him 200+ years later.

I realize you don't want to read the article, one wonders why of course, as reading something can be of benefit in better understanding of an issue.

Oh well.

Edited to add clarity.
