THAT I will endorse. We are losing the Union by the activities or lack of same, and holding that entire structure accountable *must* be done for this Nation to endure. I prefer other pathways to that, but those require one strong governor in the Union to be able to stand up and knock on the President's door and demand protection for the US. Or it requires the People in a State to join with their State and hand over illegals and give a 'show cause' of why this is going on and why the Federal Government is abdicating its duties and responsibilities. Or for a simple 1:30k amendment that expands the House and ends sinecures and Gerrymandering and the permanent emplacement of power to a semi-chosen few.<BR/><BR/>Marriage, divorce, and who is *born* a Citizen... that belongs to the States and should be so to give the American People choices on how they want to live their lives. But, ensuring that, requires that we are a Nation of Individuals... not a lump of mass addressed as a Socialist people... I really detest that from all quarters. Left or Right that is dictation to the individual and the States... the Revolution gave us something other and we codified that in the Constitution. And now that is being ignored so as to dissolve the individual and gain the ability to Rule... and that I do think upon and see no good end upon that path.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-1152371416676757012006-07-08T11:10:00.000-04:002006-07-08T11:10:00.000-04:00Well yes, you are correct, marriage is an issue be...Well yes, you are correct, marriage is an issue best, in fact, left to the states. As have the states so already spoken numerous times, most recently by New York and by Georgia this past week.<BR/><BR/>A Constitutional Convention and the opening thereof frightens me ever more.<BR/><BR/>BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.com
