Okay. I would like you all think about what you would do if you were a delegate from California or New York or Wyoming or South Dakota or Nebraska at the Constitutional Convention of 2020.
Our existing Constitution is about to expire and the 50 states will no longer be part of the Nation unless we can create a new Constitution that all states will be able to ratify.
What would you ask for and what would you be willing to accept in terms of the political structure of the New Constitution? House, Senate, President, Courts?
What do you want?
What would you be willing to accept to get a deal done? But remember, you have to take the deal back to your state for ratification. And all 50 states must ratify if we are to put the Nation back together.
The web log for Prof. Duncan's Constitutional Law Classes at Nebraska Law-- "[U]nder our Constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race. That concept is alien to the Constitution's focus upon the individual. In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American. " -----Justice Antonin Scalia If you allow the government to take your liberty during times of crisis, it will create a crisis whenever it wishes to take your liberty.
