Earlier threads:

All participants in the federalist dialog didn't conceive of a time when the U.S. Constitution would not be the arbitrator of any and all Legal questions..

They also overlooked that a virtual traitor could/would be elected President.. making possible the corruption of the entire executive branch of government.. Not just for his administration but flowing into the next administrations.. with career malefactors..

And if the executive branch was corrupted so also the Supreme Court by his selections there.. thus setting up the federal government for machine politics..

When certain amendments(and the case law proscibed by them) and following legislation stand the constitution on its head.. The constitution then gets watered down and eventually becomes irrelevant..

They didn't think of these things because they never believed the voters would become such cowards and corrupt themselves.. Electing a government that would/could do these things.. The truth is America has NOW a government that represents "the people".. Few would admit it tho..

46 In reading many of the publications against the Constitution, a man is apt to imagine that he is perusing some ill-written tale or romance, which instead of natural and agreeable images, exhibits to the mind nothing but frightful and distorted shapes, “gorgons, hydras and chimeras dire'', discoloring and disfiguring whatever it represents and transforming everything it touches into a monster.

Hamilton appears to be sarcastic here. Perhaps he never envisioned gargoyle-like progressive totalitarians seizing control of the government and fundamentally transforming it into a monster by discoloring and disfiguring this Constitution.

Thanks for your tremendous work, Publius.
