Where in the Constitution does it cover buying a seat at the table?

I am 76 years old. I am a mother and a grandmother. I have voted as a Democrat since I was 21. I have been elected to my county's Democratic central committee and to the Democratic state central committee. I have served on the board of the Democratic Women's Caucus. I am a member of the National Organization for Women, NARAL and other women's organizations.

I am old enough to remember the days before Roe. I've seen an illegal abortion in a public restroom.

I am a citizen of this country -- and oh yes, did I mention that I pay taxes? Paying taxes is what buys my "seat at the table." When did the Catholic Church (or any church) start paying taxes?

I have been a Democrat my whole life. No more! I am now an independent voter who is pro-choice. What this country needs is a Women's Party. I'll join.

She's not the only one who feels this way. Pass healthcare reform with the Stupak amendment and the whirlwind will be reaped.

2. Where's the backlash of the historical hysteria of the Repugniconvicts
attacking the Catholics in 1960, screaming that JFK would be taking orders from the Vatican?

Of course, it's still made into a reminder that Democrats were the "party of slavery" ... over a hundred years ago ... but Republicans aren't racists just because they left the Democratic party over civil rights ... :eyes:
