If you accept the courts as the final arbiter of what the Constitution means, I presume you accept the Dred Scott decision as the acme of constitutionality.

The nihilists and the liars have buried truth alive in a shallow grave.

It was the Supreme Court who broke that tie. Which, by your standard, makes it all Constitutional and altogether enlightened and righteous. Me, I just call it damn lucky. I'd hate to have had Gore in charge when the planes hit.

Bush is president. Hopefully, only for a single term. Alex The sun will set without thy assistance. -- The Talmud
Post #53,562 by wharris2 9/27/02 2:22:48 PM Reply	Still wait and see But the fact I'm waiting and seeing says something about Bush as president. Dammit, why can't either party put up a decent candidate? Bob Dole, Bill Clinton, Al Gore - none of them are worth a bucket of snot. Bill Bradley, despite being a Democrat, I could have voted for. There are other decent Democrats and Republicans I coulda voted for... but Bush vs. Gore? Ye willikers what a sad-ass choice. The lawyers would mostly rather be what they are than get out of the way even if the cost was Hammerfall. - Jerry Pournelle

But at his point, it might be nice to have someone in there who can understand why the kings and despots he needs as allies - or at least as neutrals - might not be enthusiastic about his vision of bringing democracy to the region. ---- United we stand Divided we dominate the planet without really trying
Post #53,385 by a6l6e6x 9/26/02 5:26:34 PM Reply	That's how our justice system works. :) The Dred Scott decision was corrected. It's pretty clear to me that the framers of the Constitution did not want to have another "Church of England", but, within reason, to allow religious freedom. It's a fundamental principle.
