In other words, the Constitution is just a piece of useless paper. I’ll remember that.
***So will I. I’m not sure I see it in such stark terms, but I’m sure we’re close in our viewpoints.

My new attitude towards everyone and everything is, “Yeah? What are you going to do about it. Screw you.”
***I can identify with the anger behind your attitude, though it’s unhealthy. The social contract between the governed and the government is called into question. There’s been a violation of trust by those we entrust to uphold the constitution. It’s like the night watchman who sees an army approaching the city and wakes up his family & skeedaddles without telling anyone else. He looked after his own interests first (human nature, kinda understandable) but then betrayed the trust placed in him (basically treasonous selfishness).

I look at it this way. The Constitution and our way of government was our social contract. It has been broken. When will the people put it back? Only when they feel the pain of doing without it.
