On the recordSeptember 23, 2004
I guess what it comes down to is a person's view of where an individual who is in the minority on an issue, even an issue that is protected in the Constitution, where does that person go to have their rights protected? What if 435 of us believe one way about the Constitution, where does that one lone individual go? If we do not allow them access to the court, and one highest court, to mediate disputes between the various States, we simply do not have the system that we have today, and that should be the lesson of this effort. Every school child in America who had forgotten what the courts were supposed to be should be reminded of that by this amendment.
