He has no respect for the Constitution. If the Founding Fathers didn’t see fit to make English the official language of this country, far be it from me to second guess them. I’m sick of these liberal, “living breathing document,” types that want to disregard the Constitution at every turn.
Amazing how people hate Perry but give Romney,Cain and Newt a pass.
Then there is that Bachmann beasty
The Constitution doesn't state that marriage is between one man and one woman. I think the Founding Fathers presumed that was a given and there would never come a time when perversion would become so widespread that the institution of marriage would be altered by sexual deviants.
I think a similar case could be made for America's language and they saw no need to codify that which was patently obvious. Since the Constitution is written in English, I believe that to be evidence that the Founding Fathers wanted the federal government to function using only that language.
It’s hardly a constitutional issue, nor one the founding fathers would have had to deal with.
Their federal government didn’t have a lot of interaction with the citizens, because it was still limited, but I bet they didn’t do anything in spanish.
Your government should have an official language it deals with, and for our nation it should be english. Doesn’t mean we can’t do publications in other languages, just means you can’t EXPECT that everything the government does will be in some other language — learn English.
We’ve had a deFacto english official language for most of our history. The only reason it has become necessary to talk about making it “official” is because we are getting away from it.
