ABC Pushes Back Against Constitutionalism: Founding Fathers Just "Guys, Not Gods"

On the July 3 edition of ABC's This Week, correspondent John Donvan threw cold water on the idea of relying on the Constitution for guidance: "The reality is that the Framers — posed in paintings as though frozen on an American Olympus — they were not gods, they were guys: guys who didn’t give women the vote, and let slavery stand for the time being, and who, by the way, were trying to create at the time a stronger central government (of course, not too strong), leaving to us a Constitution that we could fix as needed (sorry, make that amend), which we’ve now done 27 times."
