"So now they want to amend the Constitution to enshrine discrimination against homosexuals as the supreme law of the land. The Constitution would be changed to restrict the rights of Americans, rather than expand them." -- Marie Cocco on Newsday.com, 2003-11-28

Yes, just as the ammendment that instituted Prohibition also restricted personal behavior. Of course, that one was repealed many years later but with some difficulty...

*nod* I keep reading the quote as saying "for the first time", thinking, "That's not quite right," then rereading it and re-realizing that it implies that but doesn't actuially say it.

Others have pointed out that Prohibition applied to everyone, rather than restricting one group differently from another.
