OK, tpaine, where is that in the Cosntitution? The Constitutioin specifically addresses this issue. To me, it is starting to look like you believe in some part of the Constitution but not others. What is any different between you and any other person that finds some part fo the Constitution objectionable and decides to ignore it?

BTW, "booze prohibiton" ended because Congress and the States went through the Constitutional process of repealing the ammendment, not because people disobeyed the law.
