Specifically, the liberals want to work the census to count immigrates, even though they can't vote it will give more voting representation to areas that get more democrat votes.

This fools everyone who has an inferior knowledge of the Constitution and is the reason why the Constitution is no longer studied in public schools.

If anyone examines the founding fathers, they would discover that many struggled with the issue of slavery. For example, George Washington gave his slaves their freedom upon his death. I find it unfair to judge 18th century social attitudes with 21st century social attitudes. Doing this does not make us superior to the men (and women) who lived back then. Anyway you slice, the United States was the among the first countries to abolish slavery over which countless men (and women) of the white persuasion were killed. Obviously Ed Schultz is a numbnutz.

I would bet that Dems would love 3/5's of an illegal citizen to count as part of representation. Then again, they need the votes, not the representation power necessarily.

At my Junior High the 8th graders all took Youth and The Law. I earned my first badge of geek honor by actually liking the subject. From my first exposure to it I have always admired the complex simplicity of the Constitution and it's almost prescient internal checks and balances.
