The Constitution doesn't identify a national language and it's purposeful.

He asks questions for the purpose of picking a fight. He doesn't seek
information nor does he say anything substantial with a counter-argument.
It's a form of trolling.

I doubt if he sincerely believes anything, Carbs.

A well thought out statement. Hmmm....it's a wonder that somebody as dumb
as you, Bert, could fashion this. So much for the intelligence of those
accusations.

Because few men are islands. Getting stoned everyday has a direct effect on
other people. Duh!

Go back to nitpicking and leave sincere discussion to grownups.

True, and it began with those Englishman taking over land from the
Indians. Every ethnic group since has faced similar treatment and
similar claims of their unsuitability to be Americans or their
inability to acculturate.

And in 1942 ethnic Japanese were removed from the western states and
kept in camps with military guards for two to three years--120,000 in
all by the end of the program, and 2/3 of them born US citizens. The
Supreme Court approved the program, though it became clear later that
the Justice Department had withheld or manipulated evidence countering
the government's claim that none of them could be trusted to be loyal
to the US.
