And as soon as Senators realized they could vote however they wanted and still serve their whole term they answered back “no”.
I sure as s*** wouldn’t want the IL legislature “instructing” Mark Kirk how to vote, he votes wrong enough as it is.
What is with these people that think these state legislators are paragons of liberty? Are they simple?
THEY ARE POLITICIANS LIKE ANY OTHER.
So, by your measure, the founding fathers - those who designed, debated and eventually wrought the ratification of the Constitution for the united States of America - were less than “paragons of liberty,” eh, genius?
Funny how all those today, who believe themselves smarter than the men who created this nation, are the first to bemoan how bad things have gotten - precisely because we have moved away from the design given us .... “A republic, if you can keep it.”
