It really is too bad that politicians over the years have been inartful when explaining this subject. They could have used the example of the states that call themselves commonwealths. From what I have read, the history seems to indicate states chose such terminology, because it refuted the idea that the king owned everything.
Republicans have crowned their new kings, and it sure looks like what the "kings" really own is them.
The only thing less common than common sense is a common understanding of our commons.
Well said, Dave...
