19. That's what they tried to do,
but, to their supreme discomfort, the Constitution affords protection to people we don't especially care to protect. That's part of why it's such a divine document, such an ongoing work of genius. You're right, though - it looks now like the current administration is looking to create a new class, and if they do that, if they get away with that, then we're in BIG trouble, because who's going to be in the next class that someone wants to exclude from Constitutional protections?

Will it be female attorneys from the East Coast?

Will it be clowns? (No, they're the not same thing, dammit!) :)

Will it be Jews?

And who decides?

That's the slippery slope we must never create, and that's exactly what it sounded like to me when Obama spoke and my blood ran cold.

Thanks for your kind words, NYC. I'm just a Democrat who loves her country, just as you do.

If people were paying attention, a lot more would be sad.

Thank you again, and here's one for you, kid:

:hug:
