Very funny to me that part of the origin of the Bill of Rights is James Madison needing very desperately to win an election. From Tim Shenk’s “Realigners.”
@jbouie According to what I've read, Madison really had to force himself to write the thing, but once he was done he stepped back and looked at it and was like "Actually this is some good shit"
@jbouie I think all of us writers have been there
