I live in White County, here in Southern Illinois, and when we voted this past November 3rd, it was actually on my ballot here in the county about splitting off from Cooke County. I voted YES to the proposal, of course. These times really are getting crazy. I don't know what's going to happen or what to be prepared for if and when something does happen. But something is going to happen. We can't continue like we are right now and expect absolutely no consequences from it.
Oh, to add to what I just said. If Illinois should become divided, the very first bank was down here at my end of the state because they thought Chicago wouldn't amount to much. How right they were! So, we want to keep the name "Illinois." Let Chicago come up with their own new state name.
I voted for it as well, and I really like the idea of making Chicago come up with their own state name.

Woah ... if no Amendment is absolute, then why are we paying taxes on the 15th? Someone tell me why that is?
Taxation is and almost always has been theft.

Which is why the founders of this country did not write income tax into the constitution, that came later, during the civil war.

Didn't that #head Biden swear on the Bible that he would support and defend the Constitution of the United States?
Sounds like he needs to be removed.

Biden WILL be removed, by God and country. It's only a matter of time, when someone as vile as him is doing the things he is doing to America.

Biden isn't near as big of a problem as those pulling his strings. Without them, he couldn't tie his shoelaces.
We need a repeat, only this time don't force the two sides back into marriage like the lunatics in DC idiotically did 160 years ago when the war is over. Let the two sides go their separate ways completely.

No Amendment is absolute, but it seems that voting now is. I don't see voting in an Amendment though.
Of course, if no Amendment is absolute ... does that mean we can ignore some of the more asinine interpretations of the 14th?
The first 10 Amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America were called the Bill of Rights for a reason.
They laid out the framework for the rights of the individual, protecting them from the powers of the state.
They are sacrosanct... the backbone of the Constitution itself.
If no Amendment is absolute in the eyes of our current leadership, the the Constitution itself is not absolute.
If our current administration swore an oath to defend the Constitution but see it as a non-binding contract...
Then they are not fulfilling their oath.
So there is no longer any reason for the States to be United anymore.
Simple enough.
Time for a Constitutional Convention.
Which is well underway as we speak.
