Nikki Haley calls for removal of Confederate flag - CNNPolitics.com

A good event is coming a the end of the month.
Most likely, the discussions will be posted to their website and made available at no charge to everyone after the event.

This gave me the thought, if this allows a loophole...
Walter Williams takes a look at the government and their adherence to the Constitution. Is it time for a separation? Or can things be fixed? Personally, I think we're way beyond the point of fixing things and a "divorce" is inevitable an necessary. We're stuck with an abusive spouse who is...
