Nice post.

Unfortunately, the Constitution doesn't matter. The Republic is a dead letter. Even here at FR.

These are just sticks to beat Dims with, not to be applied to the GOP or to the sitting GOP president.

I think this is much like the public's hard opposition to the Panama Canal treaty, the passage of NAFTA, the bailout of the peso. It's a bipartisan operation, enacted over the hard opposition of the citizenry and undertaken using methods designed to exclude any meaningful choice by the voters.

And the recent citing of international law as the justification for a Supreme Court decision was the first real testing of the waters in applying this to U.S. law.

Just burn the Constitution and get it over with. All that remains is for the historians to determine the date on which the United States ceased to be a constitutional republic.

That date they select may not be in the future.

If you have a bumplist for this, put me on it.

Sad to say, I agree with you. Did you notice what Gen. Tommy Franks predicted? He said that another catastrophic terror attack (dirty nuke or worse) would result in suspension of the Constitution and military dictatorship. The day that happens is the day the U.S. Government becomes my sworn enemy.

I might add to your list...the public's opposition to open borders and unlimited illegal immigration; the confiscation of taxpayer money for international causes which most Americans do not support.
