On: Founder Ethics

[ztratar]

Not to mention the specific clause that states things must not only fall within the textual provisions of the document but also the spirit with which it was written.

[rayiner → ztratar]

This is news to me.

[tptacek → ztratar]

Which clause would that be?

[ScottBurson → tptacek]

I suspect 'ztratar is referring, albeit not terribly articulately, to the Ninth Amendment.

[gohrt → ScottBurson]

Maybe, but the Ninth is about limiting the document's scope relating to a subtlety of logic ("not explicitly permitted" != "forbidden "), nothing to do with "spirit"

[twic → ScottBurson]

Why was this downvoted? If it's nonsense, could someone have the good graces to say why?
