[edit] Fisher Aimes

DELETE this nonsense. If such a person truly existed (and really wrote the First Amendment to the United States Constitution), he'd ring up more than 35 google hits. In fact, the entire Bill of Rights was actually drafted by James Madison, who used George Mason's Virginia Declaration of Rights as a model - and the language went through several drafts in committee in Congress before a final version was settled on. Also, the terminology and phraseology of the quotes attributed to this person are highly unlikely for someone speaking in the 18th Century. This is either a hoax or a joke.

• Delete as hoax/joke/nonsense and redirect. Bjelleklang - talk 20:16, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete nonsense -- MisterHand 20:24, 21 December 2005 (UTC) Redirect per BD2412. --MisterHand 20:41, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Wait - I spoke a little too soon - the article is actually attempting to describe Fisher Ames, a member of the first few Congresses. However, this fellow still did not draft the First Amendment (rather, he played a purely political role in supporting the passage of the Bill of Rights). Modification of vote to delete current junk content and redirect to Fisher Ames. BD2412 T 20:25, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
