Each of the candidates in both the Republican and Democrat debates have articulated their platforms through promising a bunch of “I wills,” which is political speak for use (and abuse) of unilateral executive action. Though there is now precedent because prior p**********l administrations overreached their constitutional authority, precedent does not equal constitutional license.

The Convention of States Project seeks to use the legal mechanism provided in Article V of the U.S. Constitution to reign in the federal government through several key procedural amendments so that the highest executive office cannot usurp its actual constitutional authority.

One of these potential procedural changes could be an amendment to give the states nomination power for Supreme Court justices.

What do you think ????

==================
Thomas Jefferson was a Christian president. The Muslims and Atheists claimed he was not a Christian, but a deity.

In 1801-1805, President Jefferson with approval from US Congress launched US naval attacks on Tripoli and its allies Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers due to the Muslims’ excessive fees charged against US merchant vessels passing along the Mediterranean waters. US Marines finally won the war, Muslims were defeated. Thus, this beautiful US Marine hymns “To the Shores of Tripoli”. That begun a US f**g waving along the shores of Tripoli.

Lincoln's position was to leave s***ery alone in the states where it existed, and prevent it's becoming legal in states that were about to be added. This would have added to the already overpowering v****g block held by Northern States, four of whom still had legal s***ery. People do not realize that the Emancipation Proclamation freed zero s***es. It was directed only at the s***es in the Confederacy, where it was ignored, and did not apply to the four Northern states that perpetuated the institution, where it remained in force until the ratification of the 13th Amendment, 2 years later.
Protestant churches were less responsible for the decline of s***ery than industrialization. The invention of the cotton gin spelled it's end.
The more industrial northern states did not end s***ery so much out of ethical reasons as economic ones. S***ery was not profitable, in general, in a mechanized society. Instead, northern states passed laws such as the ordinance in Boston which forbade a black who was not a resident from staying there for any reason longer than 60 days. Failure to comply, in oh so civilized Boston, was a public flogging. If the black was still there after being given a short time to recover, he was flogged again.
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Conneticut and Iowa, along with Oregon Territory, required b****s to post an impossibly high cash bond before being allowed to move there.

You might also add to that list "The South Was Right" by James R Kennedy.
The Lincoln-Douglas debates held prior to Lincoln's e******n left little doubt as to Lincoln's opinion of b****s.
The Union Commanding General, Ulysses S Grant, was married to a s***e owner. His wife held four s***es and did not free them until forced to do so by ratification of the 13th Amendment, 2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation "freed" the s***es.
Grant is on record as saying that had he thought the war was about ending s***ery, he would have fought for the South.
