Glad you are optimistic, but you have no Constitution. You have 9 political appointees that get to tell you what the Constitution says. The clearly written words have been neutered by agenda driven judges. Clearly worded documents like the Constitution protect you not at all. The good guys desperately need some judges on their payroll, the left has lots already. This is a game to the death and we are losing.
Some, like Hugh, speak about reforming the predicament through legislation. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!! Their actions are rendered mute time and again. Even HH has said that Marbury vs Madison has made the "Men in Black" above all other branches. Passing legislation is about as effective a remedy as spinning on your thumbs -- except the latter renders a quicker resolution.
Of course we still have a Constitution.
Our problem is that our Senators and Representatives don't have the political will to use the tremendous power given them.
That political strength will come as these issues are brought to the forefront.
We all see different issues differently, but I'm sorry you're so pessimistic. There is a lot to be optimistic about. We have talk radio, the internet, and home schooled kids who are focusing on becoming 'legal warriors' of sorts in this important war. This is going to take decades, and I'm just sorry all of us won't live to see the vicious fighting. Our side is going to be glorious!
