It is refrshing and encouraging to know that some Board members do, indeed, read the Federalist Papers and other tomes about the Constitution's formulation. As an addition to your bibliography I suggest Akhil Amar's The Bill of Rights. It is a challenging, but rewarding read; I managed to wade through it.
