And to enforce this decision through the judicial system on a case by case basis. But they would have to refute the 14th amendment to do so, so that might get dicey.

[/quote] [/quote] The declaration of independence and the bill of rights were not "perfect" documents, but they were a summary of the rational philosophers that blossomed during the enlightenment. The ideas of natural rights began with the magna carta and graduated with the likes of John Locke, Francis Bacon and Rousseau. The constitution was an attempt to codify these principles to form a government of the people for the people to ensure and protect these rights. How can one individual like Obama credibly re-write similar codes that summarized hundreds of years of academic thought and philosophy to ensure everyone's guaranteed rights? In your world, I think you would be better served by a dictator, but then again maybe that is what you want. [/quote]
