Why Not More Amendments-Keeping the Baby and Running New Bath Water
Bishop Tolton held over from hour one as a Constitutional discussion sparked need to carry over the conversation, focused on original intent and room for expansion as the Framers set a blueprint in motion that perhaps, not everyone understood the full potential of until Abraham Lincoln read the fine lines of his job responsibility and the character needed to fulfill it. In the second 1/2 hour, Jesse and Gina, host of “Reflectivity” reviewed the week of shows, trimming the fat from conversations to get to lean meat of discussions like this week’s Moving Mountain Monday. From that conversation where the notion of “amended-in” people took root, Gina questions whether the previous amendments, particularly 1 and 2 can be fully realized for “amendment beneficiaries,” while Jesse takes us to school, unveiling the “civil religion” that the framers of the Constitution wrote.

When the Socialist Meets the Capitalist
Rev Teresa Hord Owens brings light to the Supreme Court’s legitimization of the authoritarianism that the framers of the Constitution fled. Without supporting Congress or upholding case law, the boundaries are blown out of the water, and the money chase is on, versus dropping terms that actually shed light for the people to practice love…one toward another.
