Agreed on the blackmail. They have him— for either or both of things that would destroy him personally— the backchannel adoption in South America, and/or his documented homosexual past (which, when one thinks about it— to the liberal mind should be no big deal- what with Mack Daddy Long Legs maomau in chief).
The first 10 amendment, collectively called now the Bill of Rights were ratified by Congress. The 27th Amendment was NOT ratified, but after some 202 plus years became ratified in 1992. Worth a read about that process constitutional.
It is indeed shocking to think that the Bill of Rights could have been allowed to accrue in the same way as the 27th Amendment (ie through the non-ratification by the States), and the Rights of Free Speech, to Keep and Bear Arms, etc. been allowed to “accrue” to ratification. God Bless our Congress of 1791 for what freedoms (on paper at least) we have as Constitutional (ie. NOT removable by an all powerful federal state).
Please read #15. I’m not the only one that thinks Roberts is gay.
