He was twice reelected to the U.S. Senate, in 1974 and 1980. Eagleton was chosen for the Demo- cratic vice presidential candidate in 1972.

Justice Clarence Thomas1 often uses these two words — likewise, with the Wall Street Journal2 and Rush Limbaugh.3 Senate and House members resort to these words when it is convenient to do so.4 Today — just for today — I find it convenient to argue in favor of “original intent.” Today, I want to praise our Founding Fathers and argue that we should follow the letter and spirit of what they expressed in the Constitution with respect to how our nation goes to war. Today I am the Gabriel of original intent. II.
