Well, I’m all in favor of that.

The problem is that increasing numbers of Americans don’t understand the Constitution at all, and see appeals to its authorities as mainly motivated by selfish desire of rich people to keep others from getting what they need in life.

IOW, when you appeal to the Constitution to justify your position I think you’re mostly preaching to the choir. Elections are won by converting people to your position.

Very true and well-said.

And that’s where another Great Communicator is needed.

My problem is that many conservatives don’t stop to question recent conservative positions that have no basis in the Constitution, such as the ination-building that we never seem to stop trying.
