And Democrats these days are a buncha wusses.
I was in law school when Nixon was re-elected in 1972. Worse, I was then a Democrat and sat in then San Francisco Supervisor Dianne Feinstein's office chair on election night fielding phone calls from harassed poll workers who turned very confused Democratic voters over to me to tell them how to vote the straight Democratic ticket. Because the poll workers weren't supposed to do that, and these voters needed all the help they could get just to keep breathing.
My father was then a state Democratic official, and Pop's biggest political disappointment was that his best friend got on Nixon's enemies list while Pop didn't. And Ray never let Pop forget that either.
Democrats were every bit as bummed out in 1972 as they are now, but we weren't quitters then, and came back and won. I left the Democrats after Jean Kirkpatrick did, based on her example, first to be an independent and then a Republican in the fall of 1990 when the Democrats wanted to let Saddam keep Kuwait.
But Democrats today are wusses. Let them go to Canada.
And start the constitutional convention process - just trying to get one will help motivate Congress to pass some Constitutional amendments which the Democrats would otherwise block.
California's Howard Jarvis, the author of Prop 13 once wrote, a constitutional convention "would put the Constitution back on the drawing board, where every radical crackpot or special interest group would have the chance to write the supreme law of the land."
That's undeniably true, even if they weren't ultimately successful.
Something they've taken to doing recently is citing international and European Union court decisions and taking "judicial notice". I don't like that one bit. The Constitution is their lodestar, not what the EU or The Hague thinks.
