Nope. Not possible. A slavery amendment after a war not fought over gay marriages would not do and could not do that.

I notice you keep dodging a point I keep making.

Do you believe the 14th amendment was ratified through a legitimate ratification process, and that southern states which ratified it actually represented the genuine will of the people of their respective states?

You keep portraying the 14th as a holy amendment sullied by evil liberal judges "lying" about it, but you never seem to address the issue of whether it was a properly "ratified" amendment.

I think you are afraid to admit the truth on this particular point.

I wasn't planning on replying again but Ok. I'll bite. You seem to highlight this because it is important to you. So I can answer you directly.

"Do you believe the 14th amendment was ratified through a legitimate ratification process"

I think at this point over a century and half where we are at it is irrelevant. What I do think is that the amendment is due for changes(amendments) to protect us from dishonest judges who lie in the very first instant about even using the 14th at all, and if you wanted to be activist about it to actually get some work done, I'm open to a full repeal.

We aren't getting much work done though just sitting on a web forum complaining. Activity is required.

"I think you are afraid to admit the truth on this particular point."

Heh. These words from the guy who says he thinks thinks that a slavery amendment after a war not fought over prayer in schools would authorize ending prayer in schools. Ditto abortions, ditto gay marriage, etc etc.(the list)..... without explaining the ridiculous process of how he got there.

You're the Civil War guy here not me. I don't think I should have to explain to you that the Civil War was not fought over prayer in schools, yet here we are. Some odd reason, we are here and its your belief.
