It wasn’t legal in Virginia., or in several other southern states. I can’t say that it was illegal in all.

That’s correct. Yet, in the controversy over the Alien & Sedition Acts, Republicans such as Jefferson and Madison insisted that the Alien Friends Act was unconstitutional because it was up to the states to decide who immigrated until 1808.

Gov. Deal of Georgia signed the Compact for America legislation the other day. 33 states to go.

I like WHERE WAS PATRICK HENRY ON THE 29TH OF MAY? Take a look.

This week, the lower house of the Alaska Legislature passed the CFA legislation. It joined one house of the Arizona Legislature. Georgia’s legislature has passed the legislation and sent it to Gov.

Assuming, arguendo, that the argument is right so far as it goes:

“Worked” in what sense?

No one disputes that with enough borrowing–that is, transferring wealth from the future to the present–one can jolt current consumption. Is this rocket science?

Is there ever a point at which these people conclude that it’s immoral to pile more debt on posterity so that we can benefit today? (NB: rhetorical question)

Since secession is impossible now, unlike in Speaker Macon’s time, the Compact for America initiative is our best option. Let me know what you think after you read my review of Levin’s book and the associated links.

Yes, I do have a hard time believing that anyone sincerely thinks that an open-ended drafting convention would yield any results at all, let alone good results.
