re: #85 elbruce

Yes, wingnuts. Currently they’re trying to repeal the thirteenth, fourteenth, and seventeenth amendments. Not to mention their anti-mosque attacks on the first and fourth amendments, and their continued opposition to closing Guantanamo Bay, thus violating amendments five through eight.

“Under attack,” indeed.

Oh, no, they really like the 7th — that’s the one that say any civil dispute worth more than $20 is entitled to a jury trial. That’s why they oppose the BP fund that Feinberg’s going to administer, each and every claim should be fought through the courts. However long it takes. No matter how much duplicate effort is involved with all the cases being due to the same incident. No matter how staggering the attorney’s fees will be for all those thousands and thousands of separate cases.

(that’s the amendments they want to get rid of. you didn’t mention the ones they want to add — the one about flag-burning, the one about abortion, the one about marriage…)
