Senator Sanders has his heart in the right place, but why try to amend the Constitution when BlueCaliDem Sep 2014 #53

Symbolism, permanance, it more effectively brings attention to the issue, and Ed Suspicious Sep 2014 #54

I understand that, but wouldn't it serve this election and encourage GOTV BlueCaliDem Sep 2014 #58

The SC continues it's radicalized agenda of illegal constitutional review. Dont call me Shirley Sep 2014 #69

Roberts will still use his ACTIVIST interpretation of the 14th amendment... cascadiance Sep 2014 #75

I kind of like the sound of that... ReRe Sep 2014 #18

I hope he does. He has no chance of winning in any case. If he runs cali Sep 2014 #24
