-what the Unabomber did to his hand sure didn't hurt his brain--
Gelernter ping...haven't read the whole thing so don't know if he discusses immigration, legal or otherwise...
The author was maimed by the Unibomber. He came very close to being killed. He is a fine writer and thinker.
The Senate becoming "nationalized" has been a disaster. Senators now get money from other states for their campaigns and that should be stopped. Senators should represent their states and the best interest of the country first and foremost. When the people of a state can not get rid of a senator because big money has poured so much cash into their coffers that an opponent doesn't stand a chance, it's big trouble.
After the pathetic performance of the Republican controlled government over the past few years, I came to the conclusion that the single thing that can cure many ills is Federalism. (Part of this is some change in the U.S. Constitution to prevent this out-of-control spending by the Federal governemnt.) Each state can implement its own ideas of utopia. What doesn't work will fail and what works will be copied by others. It's obvious to me that whether Democrats or Republicans are in control of government, we'll move closer and closer to and all powerful central government where state governments are merely implementors of federal law. There are no more checks on elected officials except the voting booth and this is not enough.
Sounds like a good idea, but a lot of people become politicians and judges because they like imposing their views on people who don't share them. For some people, that's why they go to law school or join a political party.
