Vicki Slater on Government Reform

Hold referendum on Confederate flag; it's time to revisit

A: States' rights is not a constitutional concept. The Constitution divides certain powers to the federal government and rights to individuals. The remaining governmental powers are designated to the states. So the state doesn't have rights; it has powers. I don't really buy into the state's rights argument at all.

Q: You don't believe it's the will of the people to keep the Mississippi flag as it is now?

A: There was a referendum 14 years ago. We have a whole generation of new voters now, and this country has been through a lot in 14 years, including the massacre of nine people in a church at a prayer meeting. At the least, I think it's time for the people to revisit that question.
