Thank God! - We have way too many judges and lawyers (which Miss Mires sadly is) running too many things -

The brilliance of our Founding Fathers is that all can understand the Constitution ...it is only those of elitism that suggest only a certain class is capable of this -

Yes. The law is complicated. But the Constitution is simple.

Neither that nor more importantly DO all understand the constitution. I have been amazed at how many of my religious right "conservatives" here on FR have no idea what the Constitution actually says. It took the greatest minds of the French enlightenment (they happened to be Americans and we call them our Founding Fathers) to go through the brilliant and lengthy arguments to produce it in the first place. No it takes a truly first rate mind to understand our constitution in its intricacies, balances, and nuances (and for a document to be so short and sweet and still work is because it is sufused with nuances).
