• There are people who oppose a federal Constitutional amendment because they think that the law of family should be made by the states. I can see a legitimate argument there. I think it's mistaken, however, because the federal government, through the decisions of life-tenured federal judges, has already taken over that area.

• Hay una lamentable historia de este tipo de acusaciones de parcialidad contra las mujeres y los jueces de color, y también contra los jueces gays y lesbianas. La teoría es que van a ser incapaces de un juicio desinteresado en asuntos que involucran a sus propios grupos de identidad. Y fue famoso el caso de Constance Baker Motley, que fue una de las primeras juezas federales afroamericanas en un caso de discriminación sexual.

• Si nos atuviéramos a la Constitución tal y como está escrita, no tendríamos: ninguna intromisión federal en nuestras escuelas; ninguna Reserva Federal; ninguna pertenencia de Estados Unidos a la ONU; ningún control de armas; y ninguna ayuda exterior. No tendríamos bienestar para las grandes corporaciones ni para los "pobres"; no habría tropas estadounidenses en 100 países extranjeros; no habría NAFTA, TAG ni "vía rápida"; no habría jueces federales arrogantes usurpando los derechos de los estados; no habría ataques a la propiedad privada; no habría impuesto sobre la renta. Podríamos deshacernos de la mayoría de las agencias y de la mayor parte del presupuesto. El gobierno sería pequeño, frugal y limitado.
