I cannot imagine anyone in Congress or the administration today pledging their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to the principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence. The courage and patriotism of the signers remains ne plus ultra in the history of our country--and the world.
Who better than the Professor to ring in the Declaration of Independence as we celebrate our 250th!
