And, that is our own damn fault for letting things get to this point. The oozing should have been halted at its very first ooze past the constraints of the Constitution. Had that happened, we would ALL be better off, today.

It’s time to take back the country.

Really? How would you have stopped Abraham Lincoln? As you can see, it's easier to armchair quarterback this topic than it is actually to prevent abuse in practice. When you have a nice divisive righteous cause (for instance, the possibility of ending slavery) people stop remembering the actual rules of the Constitution. to wit: leaving the union was perfectly allowable under the Constitution, but Lincoln expanded powers to stop it.

Some people think it's time just to let the current system collapse so that the leeches will die off and better people can reconstitute the original system our founders planned:
