"And a "yes" means you're willing to return the land the US bought from France and Russia and the land the US conquered/purchased from Mexico because there is no Constitutional basis for such acquisitions. "

Point taken.

However, the primary issues we now face have to do with the imminent loss of the very few personal freedoms & liberties that remain to us. Nothing in those acquisitions had any negative effects on our unalienable rights. In fact, they actually, it turned out, enhanced and expanded the ability to enjoy our unalienable rights.

IMHO, what is a shame is that we didn't annex all of northern Mexico after that war.

IAC, restore the Republic and then we'll at least be in a position to address the kind of mistakes that led us to where we are now.

It's that or face many, many decades of the Soviet-style rule that is now a foregone conclusion.

Agreed.
