The great prize of office is apart from what you can do to the people while they will let you, the ability to skew the (in our case) High Court for years to come with the sort of appointments that suit you.<br /><br />On an optimistic note I just encountered <a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/june_2010/62_say_constitution_should_be_left_alone" rel="nofollow">this on Rasmussen Reports.</a> 62% believe the constitution should remain unchanged, 24% want minor changes, but 39% believe the current document does not put enough restrictions on what the government can do. Thirty-four percent (34%), however, say 219-year-old “living document” puts about the right among of restrictions on government. Only 14% say the Constitution puts too many restrictions on what government can do.<br /><br />I have a hell of a lot of respect and admiration for you guys.Jim Fryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780237902858889143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36435530.post-74797951450260609882010-07-02T06:30:23.895-06:002010-07-02T06:30:23.895-06:00Jim,

Apparently this living document oozes around, sprouting new pustules and nodes and "rights" all the time, while shedding the original meaning. So, basically, the words and content of the Constitution actually mean whatever some liberal judge decides what they mean at the moment.Bawbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194337224433517477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36435530.post-35235283993799759002010-06-30T03:17:29.983-06:002010-06-30T03:17:29.983-06:00Thanks Jim!

Chicago decision.<br /><br />The only thing I don't understand is, what is it about the Second that is difficult to understand to the point where the decision wasn't unanimous?Jim Fryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780237902858889143noreply@blogger.com
