That's not to say that I'm in support of the Civil War-era Southern slave agenda, but they had to right to secede from the Union and got pretty well crushed for trying. I'm no lawyer (not even close), but I'm pretty sure that's going to be a difficult precedent to overcome.<br /><br />But it's not like it's the only Constitutional amendment that people want to ignore, either. liberal Democrats are all over the 2nd, while conservative Republicans seem to want to ignore the intention of the religion clauses present in the 1st. No one really seems to care about that "speedy trial" thing in the 6th, either. <br /><br />My point is this: in this day and age, interpretation of the wording in any and all of the Bill of Rights seems to be up for grabs depending entirely on the mood of judiciary system and the overall agenda of the federal government. <br /> <br /> -- TopherGoldenfoxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09142712517512640489noreply@blogger.com
