And yet he voted against the constructionist language of the 12th Amendment. Clearly he is influenced by his desires as well as his knowledge and decided to usurp not on the 12th but the 10th as well. Spilt milk now but it shows the true color of his cloth.
The argument concerning the 12th amendment was bogus and was part of a desperate attempt to win at any cost. If it was valid then all the congressmen and senators are citizens of DC or Virginia. As for the 10th amendment, it did not come into play as it is meant only to restrict federal powers to those granted to it by the rest of the constitution. Clearly, interpreting the federal constitution in a federal election is a federal responsibility.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
