Here's the deal. The constitution is not the bible and not up for debate. The founders meant what they said.
There was a time after this countries founding that you couldn't vote unless you where a citizen and owned property. But that changed and now look where it got us, a leftist president that would prefer to leach off the upper middle class and the rich folks and redistribute their wealth (is now 47% of the total US populus that doesn't pay a dime in FEDERAL income tax).
Now for your statement above, How can we relate that to the USA's "victory" in war 2? How can the US win a war in two theaters? Remember, Japan had most the eastern seaboard of Aisia controled as well as China (even though the Tigers where kicking their arse every chance they got) and where exploiting those resources. They had a vastly superior Navy before the US entered the war as well as the Germans, they had much of Europe in their control and exploiting those resources. We won because we had more common sense than Hitler or Yamamoto (through the emporer) . We also had generals that could care less about political correctness that got them in a world of trouble after the war. (Short of "Ike")
And now lets go for Justice Stevens. He was appointed by whom? Gerald R. Ford, whom I consider a seriously moderate Republican (RINO).
Can you point exactly where in the constitution that it says that the majority rule must coddle the minority? Maybe we can get Justice Kagens input? (member CPUSA) Okay Mr Korruption, I've got to get my ducks in a row for work any way....
