I appreciate that, and I just want to make the point here that you have switched from making a constitutional argument to making a political argument, and that is that it is desirable to change the Constitution. We ought not to regard it as sacrosanct; we ought to be willing to open it up. These are all political arguments. They are not, as far as I can tell, constitutional arguments.
I do think for the purpose of trying to go through the exercise that this committee has to go through, it will be important for us to distinguish between the political argument as to whether this legislation is desirable and the constitutional argument as to whether this bill is constitutionally permissible.
