Thoughts on the National Constitution Center's "Constitution Drafting Project"

I had no idea such a project was underway! Though it's possible I learned about it and simply forgot. I *feel* like I should have been aware of it, given the number of productive arguments I've had about the electoral college over the past 4 years.

In particular, I am ignorant of the American Constitution Society <https://www.acslaw.org/>, as a "living constitution" complement to the Federalist Society (or at least that's they way Somin describes it. I haven't yet read the Atlantic article he links to ... words, words, words ... so many words. Which words extend out into the world and which words are mere Onanism?
