Disagree

I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Its the mothers choice all the time.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Greed, Oppression and tyranny. Humans have a tendency to try to dominate their fellow man. The founders attempted to define/separate powers that could be used to oppress segments of the population. As a Columnist at The Trentonian I constantly wrote about this issue - http://www.trentonian.com/search?text=njweedmans+passing+the+joint

Moderate

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
