13:20 [The US Constitution] could work. Precisely because it’s unclear. Madison found what he calls a “middle station.” Where everyone can see what they want to see. … The Constitution becomes successful because people don’t agree on what it means. That, according to Joe, was Madison’s epiphony: The Constitution isn’t a set of answers. It’s a framework for argument.
As a computer programmer type, humans and their messy ambiguities in law make my head hurt.
