I tell you, if Jeb doesn't move...if he wrings his hands and says "I did all I could," he'll be ruined politically, and I will never forget his weakness (and that of his brother, should GWB likewise do nothing).
"Think, if you can, of a single instance in which a plainly written provision of the Constitution has ever been denied.
[No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. ] If, by the mere force of numbers, a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution—certainly would, if such right were a vital one."
- Abraham Lincoln
