Topic: Constitutional
A total stranger, a patriot, laid this on me last week. Its not often Im caught intellectually totally blindsided, but this did. He said that whats wrong with America is the 19th Amendment, and if it were eliminated, it would remove the radical political influence of the "Oprah crowd" (paraphrased)
Theres a much bigger danger that has caused FAR more damage than that.
The US Constitution was drawn up to do TWO and ONLY TWO things:
1.) Establish Government
2.) LIMIT government
Ex. :The Constitution says CONgress (and only CONgress, emphasis on "CON") can make war. Thus, CONgress is established, given authority and the President has no authority to declare war. POTUS is not granted that ability.
The deadly disease that the 19th Amendment unleashed was to change the scope of the Constitution from SOLELY determining what Government is, to establishing-effecting and affecting CITIZENS rights.
Once that floodgate was opened, it was right downhill. Stupidity has appeared like "the Second-Amendment grants the Right to Bear Arms. NOTHING is further from the truth, if one can simply read English and diagram sentences and understand dependent and independent clauses, one sees that is utterly false.
