Just dinkin' around with an image...

....I found of Bernini's sculpture of David, where David is just about to use his slingshot to launch a stone at Goliath's head with all his strength:

The determined look on this version of the Bible story impressed me.  Apparently, Bernini had someone hold a mirror up to his own face to do the sculpture's expression.

Thus, my take:

I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

Just to be picky, David used a sling, not a slingshot.  Otherwise I like it!

Nice Terry.
