I can imagine it....
In Utah we can be married to multiple 14 year old wives!
In Georgia we can get the return of Whites and Colored drinking fountains!
In South Carolina we can get interracial marriage outlawed!
And throughout the land we can follow the Constitution and go back to counting Blacks as 3/5ths of a White Man...
The Constitution is considered a living document - it was not carved in stone and handed down from the mount - it was meant to grow and have it's interpretation change as the world did.
You will NOT get any disagreement from me that the Federal Government has grown way to large and is totally out of control - but one of the jobs the Federal Government does have is to ensure the fair and equal treatment of its citizens.
