Other Republics such as Ireland mandate that the constitution can only be changed by national referendum. Last one we had was to remove the territorial claim to Northern Ireland.

I am a constitution freak, I pretty much follow the tenth, anything not mentioned in the constitution specifically, falls to the state or the people. Now if you follow that line of reasoning I would say probably 90% of our federal government violates the letter and the intent of the constitution. Now I am not saying I don't think we need SOME of the government, just that I wish that we had used the amendment process rater than legislating blindly over what is supposed to be our highest law.

Yeah I agree there should be room for flexibility. You can't be a constitution fanatic. That's just as bad as any kind of fanatic. When the laws you abide by defeats your common sense, you have to re-evaluate your position. -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Heald [mailto:healdt@;dsmail.state.gov] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 11:48 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How free are we? I still think it is very important to note that soldiers cannot be garrisoned in your home. That was a major issue, and with these uncertain times I could see it eventually becoming important again. That's the 3rd right?

Do you like 3rd amendment? Why is there no debate of that one? It was more important than the 4th or 5th amendment back in the 1780.
