Bill Nye: Science Is in the Constitution

RUSH EXCERPT: 
NYE: "And I just want to remind the administration that science is political. It is inherently political, like everything else. We have to make decisions on how to allocate our intellect and treasure. And it’s in the U.S. Constitution, joy. Article 1, section 8. To promote the progress of science and useful arts. And my interpretation of the expression, “Useful arts,” is engineering. In those days it would be arrange tech you are, city planning, sewage systems and communication systems. This is all in the U.S. Constitution. That clause is there generally agreed to establish copyright and patent laws. But that’s what enables innovation. And if our country stops innovating, it will not be able to compete worldwide."
