Meet Jeff Mankoff, "a sixth-year Ph.D. student in the [Yale]History Department."
Jeff uses hyperbole to disinform and subvert.
Yes, Jefferson was against "sanctimonious" expressions of reverence for the Constitution. Who isn't against hypocrisy and false piety, at least among people who should be taken seriously?
But the prescription Mankoff implies is nothing short of unchecked legislative tyranny.
I guess he doesn't realize that when that happens, academics who aren't among the power-seizing revolutionaries are often among the first groups rounded up.
You'd think a history major would know that.
