Good post.
At least the Progressives had enough respect for the Constitution to put their changes through in the form of an amendment. The current bunch of leftists are acting as if the document doesn’t even exist.
Oh, yay. Another “Wimmin ur evil” thread.
Discussion is fine. Let’s keep it at that and avoid personal abuse.
i understand your point on the womens suffrage, however, most states did not allow women to vote. and many would not have changed those laws without constitutional intervention. i wonder why this amendment causes you irritation and not the amendments that allow other ethnic and racial groups a constitutional right to vote? are they not just as progressive and big government as the one for womens suffrage?
Probably wishful thinking as one half are to scared and the other half want blood.
Actually, while we all like to vilify the 16th, the worst was really the 17th, that removed the representation of the states, as states, in Congress. There would be none of the mischief created by unfunded mandates (which is a major mechanism the left uses for its mischief) if every Senator knew that if he gave his state government grief, he’d be out of a job at the end of his term.
