Isnt this a veiled attempt to impose a “religious rule” on the American public?
A. Not at all. This amendment is available to all political and religious persuasions. It truly empowers the people and only the people. It does not tear down the courts, legislature, or executive branches. It establishes another means of accountability and places it firmly in the hands of the people by allowing them to say with final authority, “No, not in my backyard.” A liberal state could say no to a conservative edict just as easily as a conservative state could say no to a liberal edict.
