@brianlfrye @IpseDixitPod @CoxLaw @FordhamLaw @PennLRev The episode made me think of Posner talking about the science fiction story Non Sub Homine, so i googled it and found this, reading this first paragraph while I listened to all the different ways to say Well

What should be done with the Journals? Are copies to be allowed to the members if applied for?
Tweet The Debates retweeted
#VOTE on depositing the Journals and other papers of the Convention in the hands of the President - agreed to (Md only no).
Tweet The Debates retweeted
I used to think destroying journals best; but as false suggestions may be propagated it should not be made impossible to contradict them.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
The Journals of the Convention should be either destroyed or deposited in custody of the President. If made public, opponents will use them.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
#VOTE on @armonicafan motion YES 10-0-1 N. H. ay. Mas. ay Ct. ay N. J. ay Pa. ay Del ay. Md. ay. Va. ay (N. C. ay) S. C. divd. Geo. ay.

The signing isn't either a mere attestation or a pledge of support; but to recommend, of what, all things considered, was the most eligible.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
It is too soon to pledge ourselves before Congress and our Constituents shall have approved the plan.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
We won't gain many converts from the ambiguity of the form. Let's plainly state that we will support this Constitution.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
Without a more mediating plan to abate the opposition, there will be a civil war.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
In Masts, there are two parties, one devoted to Democracy, the worst of all political evils, the other as violent in the opposite extreme.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
As we debated, I treated the plan with the freedom it deserved, but now I'm bound to treat it with respect due to the Act of the Convention.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
Signing is signing.. This may be the biggest mistake of my life, but it's dictated by my conscience. I can't hesitate, much less change.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
I wasn't alluding to anybody specific. I'm grateful @RandolphReply brought forth the plan in the first place & urge him to sign with us.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
Maybe we should just sign the accompanying letter? Personally, I think it's the best we can do and I have no scruples signing.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
The signing in the form proposed related only to the fact that the States present were unanimous.
Tweet The Debates retweeted
The moment this plan goes forth all other considerations are laid aside. The great question: Shall there be a national Government or not?
