Speaking of elected officials and respect for constitutional rights, sometime in the next 48 hours Tennessee's representatives likely will vote on the proposed unconstitutional income tax. Then we will know which of our representatives actually meant their oath to uphold the constitution - and which didn't. Pray that at least 50 of them actually meant the oath that they took. For the alternative - a legislature that deems itself sovreign over the people instead of subject to the constitution and servant to the people - is too awful and dangerous to contemplate. They work for us, but think we work for them. And if they pass an income tax, we do.
