Clearing Up Any Confusion

By the way, the Eleventh Amendment is not to be confused with Ronald Reagan's Eleventh Commandment.

Just thought I'd clarify that. I remember one day in my high school Civics class when the teacher asked what the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution were commonly called. He started calling on individual students, meeting with blank stares every time until he reached one who wasn't afraid to answer. She thought about it for a minute before responding with "The Ten Commandments." Even our class of eighth graders had a good laugh about that. Fast forward to the present and Judge Roy Moore gives us the same answer. Go figure.
