If it's a weakness, then it's one we share. I put forward the Treaty of Tripoli, containing clear and unambiguous language about the nature of our country. Then you responded with far less clear language from a different treaty, attempting to establish the opposite view.
So, where's the diff?
Except, of course, I'm right and you're wrong.
