I thank Randy Ridgel for his letter referencing the “constitutional meritocracy” as it caused me to reread the U.S. Constitution. I had not read this document in many years.

In reading the Constitution I could find no reference to the “constitutional meritocracy” he cites as justification for his personal beliefs.

I was also unable to imagine how he might have even interpreted it to say that.
