For Government to work properly, compromises have to be made and the idea of trying to enforce some kind of purity of ideology on the participants is ludicrous. You work to get the best you can and do this in a fashion that doesn't prevent the sides from working together.Caustichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457919240550526211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16082864.post-22027258952576575112013-05-16T14:24:30.939-05:002013-05-16T14:24:30.939-05:00"Which brings the gentle reader back to Wagne..."Which brings the gentle reader back to Wagner's original point: there are men and women in congress today who declare an unshakable commitment to be guided only by the language of the United States Constitution, and never to compromise their ideals. These men and women are ignorant of the process by which the constitution was written and ratified. These men and women are speaking out of both sides of their mouths, because the constitution was in fact the product of compromising principles."<br /><br />They are not ignorant of the proocess at all. That is why there is a process. After the compromises were made, the Constitution was and is the law of the land. It is to be followed and, where there is confusion as to what this means after a law has been passed, the law can be challenged and judged up the level of the Supreme Court as to whether it follows THE LAW OF THE LAND and is constitutional. <br /><br />Yes, compromises can be made as to passage of new bills but that has nothing to do with whether you should follow the Constitution. You are supposed to follow it, period. You want to change or COMPROMISE on the wording of the Constitution there is a method. THE AMENDMENT PROCESS. <br />Caustichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457919240550526211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16082864.post-47451678850819676692013-03-03T11:24:44.987-06:002013-03-03T11:24:44.987-06:00Siarlys,
