DJ and commenters have really gotten the “Constitution 2.0” thing moving.  I’m just starting to catch up.  But before diving into constitutional nuts and bolts (which DJ’s doing terrifically) I want an axiomatic start.  What is the Constitution 2.0 for?  … Continue reading →

Form of the new Consitution

Posted on November 2, 2011 by D.J.
