Let's get it right guys... Text of the Constitution

From CNS News:
Constitution Says 'All Men' Are Created Equal? NYT, NBC Got it Wrong, Too
In her ruling yesterday that Virginia�s ban against gay marriage was unconstitutional, U.S. District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen confused language from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, an error that was quoted in a New York Times story but not corrected by the �newspaper of record," and also was repeated by NBC News and not corrected.

In the first paragraph of her Feb. 13 ruling for the Eastern District of Virginia, Judge Allen wrote, �Our Constitution declares that �all men� are created equal. Surely this means all of us.� (See edva-ssm-opinion.pdf)

However, the Constitution does not say that; in fact, the words �all men� do not appear as a phrase in the Constitution at all.
Who cares about the facts when you get the narrative right. Unreal... Posted by DaveH at February 14, 2014 3:31 PM
