However, conservative law backs the letter of the law and not the intent and precedent over interpretation. It is funny that progressives who always back intent over precedent and interpretation over letter of the law now will flip when it is convenient however. It would be good if the law could be amended to make it clear illegal inhabitants are not here in actuality and not to be counted, but it is what it is as of now unfortunately. Oh, if we're going by intent the framers most certainly did not intend to only count citizens. They expressly said: which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons So they said to apportion representation based on noncitizens. The 14th Amendment then got rid of the part about 3/5 representation. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:942409767] in Politics C...
