[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] [i]The notion may not be technically "constitutional," but it certainly is "common law," if you will, and precedent setting.[/i] See, that's just the thing: we're not England. We HAVE a Constitution, and aren't just ruled by tradition. If common law could override the Constitution, then why have a Consitution at all? See, we did that on purpose. [i]Thus, my point was, and you said, children have less rights than adults. That is why I find a new amendment that says as much unneccessary and probably just a tool to trump states that wish to give children more rights.[/i] It's two things: a) Legal nitpicking; solving a small loophole that hasn't posed a problem AS YET, but could in the future b) Decentralization; it gets the federal government out of something it doesn't need to worry about It does two things of acceptable, if relatively minor, uselessness, and it has no negative side effects. Sounds good to me. [/QB][/QUOTE]
