What matters is how the SCOTUS interprets the Constitution, not how we do as individuals (though it certainly will affect my voting).
We've arrived at the same point from slightly different paths.
President Bush can't stand up and announce what
Seminole wants because the correct interpretation of the Constitution has indeed been changed, almost solely by judicial fiat.
There were a number of things he said that gave me encouragement and irked the liberals/leftists/statists no end because they view the Constitution as an impediment:
"The best way to address the deficit and move toward a balanced budget is to encourage economic growth --
and to show some spending discipline in Washington, D.C."
"This tax relief is
for everyone who pays income taxes -- and it will help our economy immediately."
"To boost investor confidence, and to help the nearly 10 million seniors who receive dividend income, I ask you to
end the unfair double taxation of dividends."
" No one has ever been healed by a frivolous lawsuit ..."
Lots of other gems, including one which referenced the "weakest" among us, but this should encourage others to post what they
didn't like in the president's remarks. I fully expect to agree with many of the complaints.
At any rate, perhaps you'll find this worth reading:
"This oath I am now about to take, and in your presence: That if it shall be found during my administration of the Government I have in any instance violated willingly or knowingly the injunctions thereof, I may (besides incurring constitutional punishment) be subject to the upbraidings of all who are now witnesses of the present solemn ceremony."
Who said it and when?
