And so, ever since the creation of the Constitution and the Republic, someones have been doing their best to subvert the intended structure. Up to now, they have done a bang-up job of perverting the Constitution having defeated most of its meaningful parts using its meaninful parts to their advantage. It is or was a Republic, if we could have kept it.
The discovery by the supreme court of the “penumbra” of the Constitution wherein the right to abortions was found is a classic example.
The Constitution, unamended is a fairly simple document, giving the rules for creating and administering laws, and stating what things the Congress could and could not legislate, and how to amend (i.e., change) the Constitution itself. It was meant to be simple and straightforward. Then, folks noticed that maybe it would be a good idea if the Constitution clearly stated bad things the government should not do, like control speech or confiscate firearms.
After a while, slavery going out of fashion, it was decided to make that illegal, and to insure the rights of freedmen.
Then it just got silly, with the government bursting out of its seams and taking on more and more responsibility for things it cannot do, and should not try, and the Supreme Court rubberstamping every gimcrack hairbrained notion some Ivy League professor could dream up and get the New York Times to endorse.
