Actually, much of our Constitution is a clear and complete failure. If we’re not going to fix it, there’s no point in starting over.

Really? I think We The People have failed the Constitution but that's JMO.

You have some recommendations???

Actually, the only failure was due to men who refused to be constricted to its clear restrictions on their power.

I’ve often thought that we could re-write it on the “do-over” and make the language more clear, but seriously, how do you have language any clearer than the 10th amendment?

This Constitution is good for the governance of a moral and religious people, it is inadequate for any other.

The same could be said about the governing people. Without moral and religious people being elected, the Constitution has no power to restrict them.
