All that remains of the Constitution are certain forms, which no longer function as designed. The real nail in the coffin is that almost nobody WANTS them to function as designed, and an administration committed to the rule of law that somehow snuck into power would be overthrown in six months.
It's the defection of Congress from its responsibilities that's at the core of the American Crisis. They have willingly surrendered all of their vital powers to make representative government a reality - the power to declare war, the power to coin money and regulate the value thereof, the power to regulate the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme and inferior courts, the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, to legislate over the District of Columbia IN ALL CASES WHATSOEVER, the power to regulate commerce among the several states - all given, gladly, to the Executive Branch, over the past 100 years.
It's quite like Rome, after Julius Caesar. The Senate still existed, but it served no significant function.
We will not overcome this, I fear.
That is the plan anyway. Taking the efforts and actions of this current administration in totality, I do not know how anyone honestly can not call it a communist putsch. Extrapolating to the end results, these neo-Marxists want chaos, civil war, foreign war, foreign invasion and economic destruction. They want the United States permanently crippled and out of the way, fundamentally transformed.
The decent American in me just would not let this ending enter my head. I have resigned myself to the idea that for years to come it will get worse...and worse.
