I’m not so sure most Americans have much concern for the constitution these days. Seems that everybody just wants a friendly dictator.

The signs of resistance, an up-welling of disgust with government's wholesale destruction of all that is good, is quite evident across the nation.

I suppose 95% of Americans are unaware of Article V, and still believe elections can reverse our national course.

1 Samuel 8:10-18 So Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking for a king from him. He said,

“These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen and to run before his chariots.

And he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots.

He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.

He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his servants.

He will take the tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and to his servants.

He will take your male servants and female servants and the best of your young men[a] and your donkeys, and put them to his work.

He will take the tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves.

And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”

Human nature has not changed in three thousand years. We still make foolish demands for a king, and God still permits our foolishness.
