I feel so bad for my children....in debt, nationalized health care...and soon illegal immigrants who for the most part are criminals, rapists and diseased. This country died tonight.

The people have—by amendment to the Constitution.

It was Prohibition.

we repealed Prohibition and that was a constitutional amendment. We can certainly repeal something that most Americans didn’t want in the first place.

Yes. The Republicans regained control of Congress during FDR’s time and stopped much of the New Deal. It’s not all one way... when people see how bad this bill is, they’ll be willing to support repeal.

Prohibition and the outlawing of owning gold come to mind.

I contend that it doesn't make any difference if there is precedent in this case. My reasoning is because I believe precedent goes out the proverbial window when a nation is bankrupt and people are starving (coming soon enough).

I don't know what will happen, but I don't think we have to look to historical precedent in the forseeable future.
