Sadly, they don't matter and we don't listen to them anymore.
I was trying to think of the quote that went something like "this Nation and it's Constitution must be run by a religious, moral people...
For some reason I am having a total mental block on it tough.
Anyway, that quote if I could remember it is most apropos.
I have a folder of quotes like that. I can look in a bit. Heck, you want the whole folder?
Here it is; “The constitution only works if it is followed by a religious and moral people.”
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. John Adams
