Pinging to the residents of the religion forum ghetto: Come ye forth! (Apologies if this is a duplicate ping).

Here's a way to have a real positive impact on the culture. What say you?

BS.

"Another thing that is needed is an ammendment allowing for the states to be able to overturn Supreme Court decisions. I think that if 3/4ths of the state legislatures vote to overturn a Supreme Court decision within two years of its being issued, that Supreme Court decesion should be null and void."

That's the posting of Paleo Conservative. Seems to me that sort of thinking can lead exactly to what I implied in my post. There IS a spirit to the Constitution and if we simply worship at the feet of our state government then liberty and the spirit of our founding means nothing and will soon come to BE nothing in the way our country is run.

Frankly, while it is important for states to have sovereignty in areas where they have power, it is MORE important for the citizenry to have the liberties allowed for, not only in the BoR, but those implied in the 9th. Otherwise the 9th has no meaning.
