RollTide1987

It's hard to believe that Alfonso Cuaron went from directing that to directing Harry Potter.

Great moment in history... But it was a photo op... Still doesn't take away from what it meant...

It was not a photo op. There are photos of the first flag going up earlier that day, so it's not like they were trying to recreate the moment. The history behind the photograph is well-documented. The Secretary of the Navy came ashore shortly after the first flag was raised over Mount Suribachi. He wanted the flag for himself. The Marines in the area brought up a second flag to replace the first. Joe Rosenthal just happened to be atop Mount Suribachi with a camera when the first flag came down and the second flag was raised.

Ryan Day is the most overrated coach in college football. If it hadn't been for CFP expansion in 2024, he'd have been fired in the locker room the moment after they lost to unranked Michigan at home.

=/= putting forth ideas for creation of document

It does, actually. If he isn't in Philadelphia in 1787, the Constitution as we know it doesn't get written and certainly doesn't get ratified by the states. He was a moderating presence in the room, allowing contentious debates over representation and other important issues to be hashed out through compromise. He was also the first guy to sign the freaking document.

His performance at the Constitutional Convention, combined with his leadership of the Continental Army during the Revolution, are the main reasons why Federalists and Anti-Federalists alike practically begged him to be the nation's first President under the Constitution.

We aren't a nation without him. That's why he is and will always be tGOAT American.

Much better than bringing troops to bear over a BS tax or jailing people for speech.

But not as good as winning us our independence. I believe that trumps everything. And just because you think it was a BS tax doesn't mean what he did was unconstitutional. Congress was given the power to levy taxes, Americans signed off on that power, and when that power was defied through rebellion, Washington, being the chief law enforcement officer of the land per the Constitution, took action to enforce the laws of the United States.

There is no such thing as the "big three." It's just college football and March Madness.

---

He had almost nothing to do with the writing of the Constitution.

---

He was only the President of the Constitutional Convention. Not important at all in the writing of that document.

quote:

---

Anyone wanna call T Jefferson the GOAT, I got zero problems

---

His biggest accomplishment while in office was also an unconstitutional act. :lol:

And if he had had his way it would have been up to Congress, not the Courts, to interpret the Constitution. Think about where we would be if Marshall hadn't been as farsighted as he was.
