Without amendments we would never even have had the Bill of Rights.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We can afford no liberties with liberty itself.
There can be no liberty without the law.
I cannot believe that the American people and the people they elected would use the Constitution to stifle any group's rights.
We didn't pass any constitutional amendments that affected the executive branch while I was governor.
I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.
I'd like to think I would have signed the Civil Rights bill and wouldn't have had any issues with it.
Freedom has never been free.
Without the United States, there simply would not have been an armed uprising in our country.
Contrary to all the blather we here about the unique goodness of the American people or our religious heritage or anything else, the one thing that set this country apart from all others was the Bill of Rights.
There are amendments never offered, there are bills never heard, that are basically killed because of the process.
