September 23 Saturday [Late night]:

More commentary and summation related to the US CONSTITUTION: The Rule book for how the whole BIG game is played...
The document is set up or divided into Seven Chapters or "ARTICLES." I always remember the first three, [these are probably the most relevant, along with the "supremacy clause in Article IV] because they coincide with my initials C.P.F. For example Article I is all about CONGRESS, including the potent "necessary and proper clause" Article II is all about the Presidency, and Article III is all about the Federal Courts...pretty cool!!!! The other four segments are as follows: Article IV: Mostly about how new states are brought onto Team USA. Alaska and Hawaii were the last ones added way back in 1959. But ya never know, Puerto Rico wants in as does Guam...go figure! Article V: This is the rules involved with making an amendment to the Constitution. It has been done only 27 times in our history as a nation. The last amendment was done in 1992. Article VI: This is big...the Supremacy Clause. Fed laws and treaties always "trump" state laws and treaties...this has proven to be BIG, maybe too BIG as it has allowed the feds to really extend itz tentacles well into state and local political issues...Article VII: Spells out the procedure for getting the thang ratified...NOTE: The 10th Amendment [aka States Rights] often butts heads against Article IV...
