  That center recognized that America was founded by Anglo Protestants. recognized that America was also uh a nation that brought in Catholics and Jews in large numbers and succeeded I I think very very well in in uh in in bringing Catholics and Jews into this Anglo Protestant country and not without problems but it it worked and the um the claim that you know the fact that it was a Christian country you know that up until the 1930s Supreme Court still referred to Americans as a Christian people, that it was legally a Christian country, that it was culturally run by Protestants. That didn't make it, you know, didn't prevent it from being, despite its many flaws, from being, you know, something that was really beautiful and superior to to many other countries in the world. So the question then is and this is I think this is really the argument maybe between you and JD or you and me is is whether the success of that enterprise whether you can learn from that that the um that the center the central place of u of Anglo Protestantism in America with a strong Old Testament um uh taste um the English language, the common law, you know, I don't expect everybody to be common lawyers, but I do expect people to say um yes, the jury trial is not it's not a a universal dictate of reason. It it it is it's an Anglo tradition and it does what it does because the people here believe in this Anglo tradition, not all of them, but a core.
