“...The Constitution—which, for all its admirable qualities, imposes a structure of government that has long been outdated, and is ill-suited to modern times...”

It is as valid today as the day it was written...The problem is that politicians and judges do not follow what it says because it doesn’t fit their agendas...

There is also a big problem within the general population. While some of those in power are to blame, they are not the sole problem. A free society cannot survive when the population will not limit themselves, and have no belief in a higher authority beyond man himself.

Exactly!

With Congress’s pathologies rooted in the Constitution, the ultimate problem is the Constitution itself.

No, it is not! In their wisdom the Founding Fathers knew that the Constitution would require change over time and added a way to modify it in an orderly manner. What we have now are judges who ignore what it says and a president who wants to be king.

If anything, human nature is in retrograde today. And Mr. Jefferson's warning is more urgent now than then: "In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in men but bind them down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution"

And before I’m accused of simply flogging the problem, the solution is to RE-ELECT ONLY those who pass Constitutional muster. Before you say “My guy’s doing a SWELL job,” check him out at http://www.gradegov.com/
