As long as voters continue to put power-driven pols in Washington...

Governement always and only attracts this type of people. This is precisely why the founders limited the power of government itself, via the Constitution.

Now if only we could find a copy of this Constitution, we could have it Xerox'd and distributed around Washington. Then the illegal overreaches of these power-driven folks would be brought to a screeching halt. /sarc

But seriously... It is apparent the Constitution itself is inadequate to the task of restraining the federal government.

[T.L.Sink]

Article.IV., Section.4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Governmet, and shall protect each of them against Invasion.

Obviously, this part of the Constitution is being ignored and the foreign invasion continues apace. The plain English meaning and original intent are clear. But if the government is controlled by ethnocentric pressure groups, special-interest business lobbies and activist judges with a liberal agenda, it doesn’t matter what the law says. It’s ignored or misinterpreted to suit their interests.
