I am admitting no such thing.

I DO SUPPORT the Amendments that you propose but their success depends on the good will and honor of our citizens to make them work as intended. Without a moral and honest citizenry they will fail and be thwarted.

Ultimately the success or failure of our nation's experiment in self rule depends entirely on the good will ( or as Rush says, “Honor”) of the people to make it work.

Evil will manage to leak through the most tightly crafted laws and amendments every time.

You are admitting because you attached adjectives of support to such amendments.

The voter base has always been filled with scoundrels since the founding. Human nature has not changed. Your pleas for ‘honor’, ‘good will’, are idealistic and unworkable. The Constitution was not founded for a citizenry with halos atop their heads, regardless of what Adams said.

The Constitution is designed against the propensity for tyranny which always exists in human nature.

Now stop preaching and go back to do the exercise of drafting an amendment to strengthen Article 2, Section 1.
