>> Why restrict it the time frame? Oh yeah, because you think it is clever. Being able to appoint a supreme court justice is not something every president gets to do. Picking a particular time window is something a lot of bull shit artists do because you can always find a window to make your point.

So, do you think Warmists are bullshit artists when they pick time windows for proxy reconstruction?

YOU ARE FULL OF IT.

The time window I mentioned was a quarter of the existence of our nation.

For your convenience here is the list in its entirety. Let me know if you think it changes anything. (BTW, I assume you're now an originalist since you're dating it back to the outset of the Constitution).
