>>Coming soon: A New Constitutional Convention

Coming sooner: Second War Between The States.

“Coming sooner: Second War Between The States.”

Unfortunately, I fear it may very well come to that.

No, it will not be a second War Between the States. The proper comparison is 1649, not 1861. Back then, the question was, "Do you support England's King Charles, king by Divine Right, head of the Established Church? Or do you support Parliament and the rights of the Commons under the Magna Carta?"

In modern terms, it would read, "Do you support the President, the Congress and the people, who have spoken and decided by an election? Or do you support the Supreme Court and the Constitution?"

I'll quote something Dennis Miller said in 1998, before he changed sides. "The Constitution is something a bunch of farmers scribbled on the back of a cocktail napkin. Who the hell cares what it says?"
