It’s plain language now...Another amendment? Shirely, you jest.
You want to stand on plain language? What about the plain right to keep and bear arms. What about the “Constitutional right” to an abortion. Where’s the plain language for that? The Constitution is now a dead white European document, or a living document, depending on how your coin lands. It needs to have the plain language renewed in no uncertain terms, to save it from judicial misinterpretation.
Listened to Rush’s podcast yesterday. It seems that Teddy Kennedy enacted something in ‘65 that started this whole anchor baby thing. It’s doubtful, or indeed unlikely that an EO can reverse an act of Congress signed into, or that unless the GOP gets a huge majority next week, it can be repealed. So the only way to get rid of Teddy’s immigration act would be a constitutional amendment starting in the states. If the states ratify it and then send it on to Congress, if it’s an election year, they might just feel pressured to give it the necessary super majorities in both houses, especially if there’s a red tsunami next week, as hoped. An EO, however, would be promptly blocked by the courts, and thereby make the issue red hot. So it’s good politics right before the election.
