I never said that English should be the only language, I said everybody should be able to speak it. The Constitution is written in what language? Our judicial system in influenced by what European country primarily? Over 85% of the population speaks what language in the home?
Your point being? If English shouldn't be the only language, then why is unreasonable for some companies to do some of their business in Spanish? or Chinese, or whatever.

You're assuming that everyone has the same values as you regarding language. What does it matter if the constitution is in English? The rights still apply to Spanish speakers.
