The Federalist Papers: Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay | Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay, Ian Shapiro

Read & listened to this simultaneously because I knew it was gonna take some effort. (Doing the same thing with the Anti-federalists too 😅.)

In America, there has always been this push & pull about what the Founders intended. Now, I can‘t say this book makes it obvious, partly because I believe Hamilton was insincere, but I feel most people can walk away from this wondering why in the hell the Supreme Court has such a problem understanding.

TheBookHippie The Supreme Court is corrupt 😵‍💫 1w
BC_Dittemore @TheBookHippie very much so. Which is a shame to say because we might possibly have some of the Court‘s best justices ever in Sotomayor, Kagan, & KBJ. 3d

I do not care that when I phone a Government Service Canada and they tell me the same sob story as 6 months ago, and it's still hasn't been resolved. What in the world are workers doing. Why do I need to call you 30 times to see if it's been done? I'm at the point where I just don't care. @Dabbe

AmyG So much incompetence- everywhere. 4w
Deblovestoread So frustrating! 4w
dabbe Ooh, beyond frustrating. So sorry you have to keep on these people's asses. 😖😤🤬 Sending 🩵💙🩵. 4w

repost for @RamsFan1963:

We have a very eclectic selection for June's #ClassicLSFBC. I think any of them would make for a enjoyable read or reread. As usual, the book with the most votes will be for June, and the next closest will be the choice for July. I'll announce the winners on Monday. #ClassicLSFBC

Reggie Yayyy for Democracy Sausage Day!!! Looks delicious. 3mo
Jeg We voted early so missed out. Looks delicious. 3mo
LeahBergen I didn‘t get a sausage for voting here in Canada on Monday! 😠😆😆 3mo
CarolynM @Aims42 Australia voted in the federal election today. Our polling places are mostly school and church halls. A lot of their communities use it as an opportunity to raise money by holding sausage sizzles and sometimes cake stalls. It‘s become a part of the culture to buy a sausage after casting your vote. 3mo
CarolynM @TheBookHippie It‘s a community building thing 🙂 Doesn‘t matter who you vote for, everyone wants to buy a sausage. 3mo
CarolynM @Teresereading @Jeg Nevermind, maybe you‘ll get one next time😆 3mo
CarolynM @Reggie It was pretty good 😋 3mo
TheLudicReader I just heard about this…so funny! 3mo
CarolynM @LeahBergen We have to buy them from the fundraisers, they‘re not just handed out you know😆 I‘m watching the results coming in at the moment. It looks like we are replicating the Canadian result 🙌🎉 3mo
Aims42 @CarolynM Omg, I LOVE ALL OF THIS 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 How cool!! 3mo
LeahBergen Woohoo! 🎉 🎉👏👏 3mo
Cathythoughts Looks good 👍🏻 😁 3mo
Centique That is a celebratory sausage then! 🎉🥳 3mo
Rissreadswithcats I am a silent voter. That looks soooo good. Think I‘ll go to Bunnings tomorrow and get one! 🤣 3mo

I just opened some book mail to discover this atrocity. 😭 I hope it comes off.

marleed Ohh that‘s bad😟 3mo
Ruthiella Yikes! It‘s huge. Using a blow dryer to loosen the stickum often works for me. 3mo

dabbe They owe you a virgin book! 😱 3mo
TheBookgeekFrau 😲🤯🤬 And to add insult to injury, it's upside down! 3mo
bookandbedandtea @marleed @Ruthiella @Deblovestoread @nanuska_153 @dabbe Fortunately, it came off pretty easily and didn't damage the cover. But sheesh! 3mo
bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau Right?! As if it isn't horrifying enough to slap an enormous sticker smack in the middle of the cover they also had to put it upside down?? 🤦‍♀️ It came off pretty easily, though, so all is well. 3mo
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea Oh good! Because that was a pretty bad case of book abuse. 3mo
nanuska_153 I actually just noticed it's the federalist papers, that's such an interesting read (I love Constitutional Law). Are you going to listen to Hamilton while reading it? 😂 (Also love musicals xD) 3mo
bookandbedandtea @nanuska_153 I can‘t say I had thought of that but I‘m thinking it now! 👀🎼 3mo

TieDyeDude They are so lazy in their racism, they can't even come up with a good excuse. Nothing about "DEI" justifies erasing any mention of the accomplishments of someone who happens to be a person of color. 4mo

This was a great read. It definitely got my heart racing throughout. It definitely had an Orwell feel to it. It was truly worth the read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
