one nation?
Jul. 23rd, 2005 03:57 pmIn Ken Burns' Civil War documentary an historian is quoted as saying that before the civil war people said "The United States are" and after the civil war we say "The United States is." If the Roberts nomination is approved the southern victory on the constitutional issue of states rights will be pretty near complete, and we will have to go back to speaking of The United States in the plural. And when that happens we in the blue states will have to use that very states rights argument to insist on the right of our states to keep abortion legal, to ban anti-gay discrimination, to control gun ownership and purchases, to enforce strict state environmental standards, and to keep religion out of the public sphere.
