@ashleypoo1319 Well, interestingly, the three-fifths compromise was good for blacks because it kept the south from getting too much power in the House. By 1840, the House was an anti-slavery body, and the Senate pro-slavery. So, the 3/5 compromise is a good thing.

What complete two-faced bullshit!! In this speech, he said judges must respect the Constitution in regards to property, but how dare those judges respect the Constitution over "generations of pious, unoffending custom" when it comes to Under God (about 3 generations, to be exact). Anyone defending or celebrating this speech is an un-American bag of dogshit and needs an integrity injection.

Come 2008 [3VOL] will be sworn in, & "We the People" have his back, from the WHITE HOUSE door to the CONGRESS FLOOR. Some have said that RP has tapped into the peoples frustration, But I think RP has tapped into the peoples HOPES. Desperation did NOT lead us to RP but INSPIRATION was our guide.

Point being, nothing is perfect, and there are needs and necessities and the furthering of righteousness that can provide for situations when commonly held ideas, processes, organizations, and many other things have a need for change.

Maybe it didn't say the rights were only for whites, but it did allow for the states to exercise their own discretion as to how race would be addressed. Because of their implicit knowledge of racism/slavery, the lack of provisions allowing for the equality of all people shows a lack of regard for said people. The inclusion of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments (1865-70) are further evidence showing their need to alter the original document. I understand the need to hold the union 2gether, but..

Third, the pledge WAS changed once before. The original was altered thanks to lobbying by the Knights of Columbus, the largest Roman Catholic Fraternal Organization in the world. This was also done in the fifties, during the time of 'communist scare'...when Americans associated communism with Godlessness. So, as much as it irks America's Christians, the constitution doesn't give them honors over other religions or of no religion. The constitution makes them equal,too bad

[thekoolaidmom]

No where in the original constitution and the bill of rights does it say only whites are entitled to these rights. In fact the majority of the founding fathers had the hope that one day the country would be able to grow past such inequalities. It was only because the southern states threatened to walk that slavery was not outlawed in the original documents.

[ashleypoo1319]

laughing at the references of the pledge and currency. Pretending those are somehow thanks to activist judges who want to undermine America's faithful is a load of crap. First off,the establishment clause DOES guarantee separation of church and state. Second, "E Pluribus Unum" is Latin for "Out of Many, One." Never codified by law, it was considered a de facto motto of the United States until 1956 when the United States Congress passed an act, adopting In God We Trust as the official motto.

[ashleypoo1319]

sweety, what do you think 'three fifths' rule is all about? The constitution was specifically made ambiguous on black people for a reason; most colonials were slaveholders. You should watch the HBO series on John Adams. You'll learn a lot about the constitutional process. Also, it was thanks to the judges that black people 'do' have rights.

[justcallmemister]

koolaidmom is drinking her own pure grain koolaid, or is just an idiot. If there were no activism from the original constitution and bill of rights, African Americans would still be second class citizens in writing!
