OK, back on the topic...

In case you all don't know, our system of Gov't is not supposed to fast or efficient. It's slow and cumbersom for a reason. The reason is that the longer it takes to get laws passed, the longer we have our liberties.

Whatever you think about the flag burning amendment, first it has to pass the Senate, then be ratified by 3/4's of the states and then there is a waiting period until it becomes the Law of the Land.

In case you forgot, the ERA, Equal Rights Amendment, never passed the 3/4's muster after an extention. I personally think it should have been passed. The Supreme Court has passed it by Judicial Fiat, and i'm not taling about the car.

Lots of amendments get proposed but few pass. It's better that way. Be afraid of Seantors who say that they'll pass a law and let the courts decide.


I prefer Congressional Gridlock. It means they're leaving us alone.
