   Curious as to why you singled out "liberal democrats" in your statement?  Does   
   not the lastest form of "gerrymandering" find it's home in the GOP camp? Did   
   they not also try and ban voting by both limiting the timeframe and also   
   requireing certain credentials allowing them the opportunity? Is it now the   
   latest rage of the GOP to destroy certain communities filled with those who's   
   views do not match their own?  Granted, this has been going on and probably   
   will go on long after we're 6 feet under but let's be realistic.    
      
   May I also ask why you do not believe the Constitution is not a living,   
   expandable document meant to mirror the intents of society at any specific   
   time? There are significantly more Ammendments attached that clarifies the need   
   for it to grow, and in the case of the XVIII, repealed.    
      
   No one can predict the future and that was the genius embedded within the   
   document. The writers were men, not gods and they knew this. Politics played a   
   significant role in its drafting just as politics plays a role in its   
   interputation today.  Maybe we should just get rid of the "Republic" side of   
   the equation and let the people decide.  Just think of all the $$ we'd save by   
   sending Congress home on a permenant sequester.   
      
      
      
      
        
           
   Adios!!
