I have already TOLD you what the common law ruls of construction were, you are just too friggin ignorant to accept it.

You asserted: "They meant for us to use the common law rules of construction to ascertain the meaning of the Constitution."

I merely asked you to meet the same standard of proof of your assertion that you have been demanding of others. Show us EXACTLY where the founders said that.
I don't like to cast pearls before swine. However, if you convince me that you're really interested in the historical evidence that the lawmakers meant for us to use the rules of construction to interpret the Constitution, and if you ask me very nicely, I might help you find it.

I find it appalling that Justice Antonin Scala, in his dissenting opinion in McCreary County v. ACLU, constructed his model of "the relationship between church and state" in America without even considering the actual text of the Constitution. How do incompetents like him get on the U. S. Supreme Court?
