You said — “Yup. It appears the Constitution is dead. The only GOOD news is that our ultimate “fall back” document is a little gem called the Declaration of Independence.”
Well..., I don’t think the Constitution is dead, actually. I do see that many that we thought would defend it, are not doing the job. It’s good to know that for the future.
What we have, here, at the present time — is the exposing of the many who do not think it’s politically or judicially “worth it” to defend the Constitution. What we must do is to work harder to get people back in there (in our political and judicial institutions) who will defend the Constitution.
So, I’m thinking that this problem is “only for a period of time” until we can correct it. It can be done.
BUT — the problem *still* — is going to be that we’re going to have an illegitimate President, in the meantime...
I hope you are correct.
In the meantime could be a good long time, especially considering how relatively young "The One" is.
If he, and his minions, are willing to violate the "natural born citizen" requirement, what other parts might they violate? We know, based on his own website, both campaign and "Change.gov", that he's willing and even eager to violate Amendment II. Why not Amendment XXII as well?
