But I think you are still missing the point. For instance you and I have typically been world's apart politically. I suspect that people most closely aligned with your stated views in this thread would not at all like me having the power to write laws dictating what your rights would be, how your society would be organized and managed, and how the Constitution would be interpreted. But under the existing system, if my side out numbers yours by one vote, we can impose whatever we want on you and you have no recourse whatsoever. And vice versa. We of course would appoint judges and justices that supported our point of view and our interpretation of the law.
Under Michelsen's proposal, however, my side and your side would be forced to find areas of agreement and ways to compromise that would make the final decisions at least palatable for us both, i.e. for the large majority of the people.
What is more important is that you can both have it your way.
If states could function more autonomously.
People don't like it when you say "move", but that is the answer.
I left California when it became apparent their support for schools was lacking.
Its unusual that one can simply leave all they know (family, friends, job) simply because they disagree with the politics of an administration that will be out of office in a few years. Politics is cyclical. Sometimes the cycles are very long but eventually, Parties fracture, support wanes, and other ideas take over. What isn't cyclical is when a party starts tinkering with the constitution.
Human rights should never be put to a popularity contest.
Do you think Obamacare will ever be repealed and other ideas will take over ?
If not, then I would ask where I move to get out from under that ?
No.
It doesn't violate your human rights.
That wasn't the question I asked.
I asked "If I don't like Obamacare...where do I move to get away from it ?"
Albania I suppose.
Where do you get the idea you shouldn't have to pay for things you personally do not like. A lot of people don't like submarines....yet they pay for them. Even more don't like Congress.
