The Nefarious Intentions of the Framers?
Paul Finkelman
President, Gratz College in Melrose Park, Pennsylvania. Also currently serves as Fulbright Chair in Human Rights and Social Justice, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada, and John E. Murray Visiting Professor, University of Pittsburgh School of Law
