Do I want immigrants preparing for citizenship to understand the Constitution better by comparing the real thing to the translation in their native tongue? You bet. The Cato press release announcing the translation eventually gets around to that, but only after this: “Today, 12.5 percent of the total U.S. population is of Hispanic descent. And one in 10 Americans is a native Spanish speaker–28.1 million in all.” In other words, the translation is also aimed at millions of native-born Americans of Latin descent – and there’s no excuse for that.

On the other hand, there are things that might be higher up on my list of things to be upset about – like headline writers who misuse “suffer the little children” or race hustlers who misunderstand the 3/5ths rule.
