Constitution Day is to Independence Day what Easter is to Christmas. Without Easter, there would be no Christmas because it's the resurrection that makes Christ's birth notable. Similarly, without Constitution Day, there would be no reason to celebrate Independence Day as we would have likely been swallowed back up by the British Empire, and you know they don't celebrate the 4th of July. Join this podcast for a little history and for my tribute to a group of men who were truly remarkable and are deserving of our heartfelt gratitude. We should be making more statues of them, not tearing down the ones we have.
