IMO the Senate lost it's integrity long before I was born -when it abandonded the clear language of the Constitution for a policy of feeding the beast called beurocracy.The Judiciary lost it's integrity when it rejected the Rule of Law -and th edoctrine that human law if they are to be valid must not contradict any general law of Nature (dictated by God himself) nor violate any positive law of
Scripture (Revealed Law) The American people lost their integrity when we began to choos for our leaders men who did not serve in fear of God. ANd tolerated a wall of separation to divide the Political House erected by Dr. Franklin and his Peers --and the nation from the foundation.
In similar fashion, the words and intent of our Constitution cannot be misconstrued for anything other than their original purpose or we once again create disaster such as we experience today with nominations.
