The exchange below was a result of a comment which had been posted to an article at TheHill.com. The title or subject of the article doesn’t matter at all.
I had been perusing through the comments listed when my eyes spied an interesting “handle” for a commenter on this article: “ConstitutionalPurist”. I thought to myself:
“Self, with a handle like this, we might actually get some good debate shakin’ on the board here.”
I was mistaken and disappointed. I had been let down and basically duped into thinking that if someone had created a handle as inherently authoritative as “Constitutional Purist”, this person would actually throw some nutritional subsistence on the table to get the circling wolves and leopards engaged, thereby initiating a feeding frenzy which at least would allow the ravenous carnivores to make an attempt at devouring our “Constitutional” friend.
As I have said, I was mistaken. But then, wait! Opportunity had seemed to shine its beckoning lantern my way as I began to read the poster’s short message:

Where do the three branches of our United States Government draw their lawmaking authority from; the authority to propose, to vote on, to pass, to veto or to deliver decisions upon? It is from the people’s document, The United States Constitution.

U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) and State School Superintendent Dr. John Barge yesterday personally delivered Georgia’s request for a waiver to certain provisions of No Child Left Behind (NCLB), and an alternative, to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. Georgia is one of the first states seeking a waiver from some of the requirements within NCLB. The State requests permission to replace NCLB with Georgia’s College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) for each public school, school district, and the state for the 2011 – 2012 school year. This CCRPI determination will vary based upon grade levels. However, it will measure the extent to which a school, school district, and the state are successfully making progress on a number of accountability indicators such as content mastery, student attendance, and the next level of preparation.

Why has the city of Lawrenceville Georgia, submitted a referendum to the United States Attorney General concerning a call for vote on whether or not the city should sell beer and wine on Sunday? Shouldn’t this only be of concern to the people of the City, Gwinnett County, or at most, the State of Georgia?
