The constitutional questions are in the first instance not questions of right but questions of might.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think we've asked the right questions, the tough questions, at the right time, in Washington.
Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so.
Just because a majority of the Supreme Court declares something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so.
I also believe that the Supreme Court should be the final arbiter of all federal questions.
I believe in individual rights so much that I don't like any sort of 'what's good for the cause'-type questions.
It is not the constitutional prerogative of the Government to determine needs.
The First Amendment is first for a reason - it cannot be ignored by the D.C. City Council.
No one questions the validity, the urgency, the essentiality of the Voting Rights Act.
My touchstone for every question is the Constitution.
Might was the measure of right.
