Ezra Klein Needs A History Lesson

Quote from Ezra Klein: "My friends on the right don’t like to hear this, but the Constitution is not a clear document. Written 100 years ago, when America had 13 states and very different problems, it rarely speaks directly to the questions we ask it."


Really Ezra? Forget your bizarre disregard of the Constitution, how about a better approximation on when it was ratified? Over One hundred years is a general statement, but it was ratified 223 years ago. Not a minor miscalculation. Thirteen States? Again, off by over a century. If you want to be taken seriously as a commentator, how's about you do some homework and not lop off 123 years referring to the creation of the very Republic that was created by that same Constitution?
