Republican leaders decide to help third parties

Here we have Republican leaders concluding that the fourteenth amendment has outlived its usefulness now that their ancestors are settled in. This is a sad reminder of something that seems all too real today, that we are a nation no longer built on principles, but built on agendas. Republicans, who frequently slam Democrats as constitutional revisionists, assure us that this time it’s good to revise the Constitution. Because, I suppose, it’s the Republicans who are doing it, as opposed to the Democrats who would be wrong if they tried to change the Constitution. Much as I don’t see a value in supporting third party candidates, as a Catholic I believe in a world founded on principles, not on convenient tactics. Unfortunately, this seems to be in stark contrast to our current national leadership from either party. Sigh.
