Word.

Here's the thing, guys - most of us think that people deserve the same rights across the board. That's cool - however, we also agree there are exceptions . . . felons, the mentally deficient, minors, etc. Each state has the right to decide those exceptions via their own Constitution - and amendments define these things. It would have been puke-inducing to see judges go "nope, the will of the people is stupid, GTFO dorks" - right?
