    "content": "It was not me but I want to say that I was privileged to be one of the framers and drafters of the Constitution. I even know its history; as a lawyer, I am sure you know that even when the court interprets the law, it looks at the plain meaning, and where the plain meaning is does not assist it, it goes to the legislative history. If you go to the legislative history, I can state for a fact that I was in the Select Committee of 27 hon. Members. I know for a fact that the history was that originally we had intended to follow the American system, where the Senate is the superior House. However that was not very popular and hon. Members very categorically stated so; in fact, in jest somebody said that, that would be a House for retirees. So, people are not just saying things that were not spoken of here; they were actually said."
