No offense, but you should really get a frim grasp on the way the American
Government works before you start ranting about the "illegality" of laws.
Amendments to the constitution must be approved by a 2/3 majority of the
states to go into effect.  Once that happens, the Supreme Court can strike
any law, amentment, etc, deemed unconstitutional.

There is no such thing as an illegal law.  An unconstitutional law may be
stricken from the books, but seeing as how any challenges to the law have
been overruled, the law, as defined by our Constitution, is "legal".

Now can we please get back to talking about the trail?  It's one of the
few places we have where, Democrat, Republican, Independent, Communist,
etc, we're still all the same.  And to tell you the truth, I like it that
way (and I'm a very political person).
