He has been described as a modern American Founding Fathers without any of their problems because he is right about everything they were right about and knows more than they did about liberty without being saddled with any of the flaws that make them terrible. He has transformed the lives of millions in the US and beyond. And I got to go to the giant birthday party celebrating his 90th birthday. This is the story of that party.

Correcting The Liahona on the U.S. Constitution
The Liahona, the official magazine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints published an article on the United States Constitution in its September 2022 issue. And boy is it terrible, for numerous reasons. For example, despite having degrees in the subject the author doesn’t even have a basic understanding of human rights or the history of the Constitution and actively tries to justify government tyranny.
This article is a step by step dismantling of the Liahona article and its problems, not only in order to provide Latter-day Saints with a necessary correction for something published in a church magazine, but because such a work will serve as a solid foundation for discarding much of the same kind of dreck (from both academic and amateur sources) that the reader will encounter endlessly elsewhere whenever discussing the Constitution.
