But our system has worked better than all others. Mess with its bedrock at your peril.

I ernestly believe that liberals are messing with the bedrock. The principles that Blackstone summarized are lost in this generation, or before.

Your belief is certainly reasonable. Over the years the Constitution has been made to say many things...and many things have been made legal which were once illegal and vice-versa.

Still, people have been very, very careful about changing the basic language, the basic forms, the basic checks and balances. I think that is as it should be.

Amen!

I was in a discussion the other day where I could not get a fellow FReeper to understand that 'jury nullification' is NOT the same thing as *anarchy*.

I was told "The people don't have the authority to decide the law!"

Pretty scary!
