It started with FDR and a stacked supreme court. But you are not going to go back. The toothpaste is out of the tube. You deal with what you can in the context of the current times. Much can be done about balancing the budget, but don't expect to suddenly get a surge of support for eliminating the commerce clause.
And we have the United Nations, but if you really want to see the sparks fly on FR, just try suggesting that we (the U.S.) get out of the U.N.
Sooo many FReepers like the U.N., and woe be unto those who say anything bad about it.
I surmise you simply wake up in the morning and look outside to see what the forces of evil have accomplished last night, then squeeze out some more toothpaste. I, for one, am simply not going to stand by and allow our Constitution to be trashed.
