I know what the Constitution says. I never said it spoke otherwise.
Im speaking about why we have what we have.
The truth is what was set up wasnt workable. If we had went by the rules we might still have slavery or the S might be the Confederacy.
Im not saying what we have is perfect but your wistful talk about Jeffersonian ideals sounds naive to my ears. The world is pragmatic.
