Chewing on the Constitution

Ever since my Uncle Johnny suggested a few years ago that I study the U.S. Constitution, I've been chewing on this country's governing document like a cow's cud.

And with all that chewing, I've developed this weird habit. At home, whenever I'm watching or listening to a political speech, I reach for one of my tooth-marked copies of the Constitution to see if I can put what they're saying into some kind of Constitutional context.
