The US Constitution

Lets hope that the Dems do not get a filibuster proof Senate.

And I totally, totally agree that we need a LOT more independant/3rd party people in the legislature.

The problem is that many on the left think the Constitution can be interpreted to fit their mode of how things should be. The Fairness Doctrain, the AWB, and taxing ourselves into prosperity are prime examples of the liberals going against the intent of the Constitution.

I'd be more concerned about the Supreme Court than the Legislature.

A very legitimate fear. A SCOTUS that interprets the Constitution to thier own views rather then strictly adhering to its original intent is far more reaching and damaging to our rights and liberty.

So you think slavery and women not being able to vote -- original intent! are good things?

Absolutly not and Im offended you would even suggest I did. Part of the original intent of the Constitution was that it could and would be changed with the amendment process, not to be interpreted to conform to the views of those in power.
