I am not a lawyer so please correct me where I am wrong and give me a bit of slack as I do not know most of the appropriate jargon or specifics. I believe they and documents like them are primarily used to determine the intentions and guiding philosophies of the framers as well as the context in which the Constitution was written and the traditions of our country. They also seem to be a good source to cite when extrapolating beyond the bounds of the Constitution. When issues go beyond what the rules can reasonably be construed to cover the opinions of the writers are an important factor when interpreting how a certain situation should be handled. Also when constructing ones stance on an issue using selected quotes and opinions can bulwark one’s position and lend an air of legitimacy to one’s argument. They are also useful when challenging traditional or accepted ways of interpreting the rules. I can not prove anything. Absolute proof is an impossibility with out the assumption of reality and rationality. Am I real? I assume I am. Are the things I perceive real? I assume they are. Can I definitively prove I or they truly exist? No I can not. Either I am or I am not.  But I can’t prove anything with out first assuming that both I and the things I perceive are real.</blockquote>
