"This proposal to amend the Constitution is a divisive and drastic tactic. This unabashed attempt to politically manipulate our nation’s most sacred document is a tragic mistake. For 225 years the Constitution has acted as an instrument of freedom. We have relied on it to protect our civil rights – not limit them.
“At a time when Americans are facing serious issues including excellence in the education of our children, allocation of critical homeland security dollars, and the expansion of job opportunity, I find the timing suspect and the tactic irresponsible.” ---Former NJ Governor James Mc Greevey
