The Constitution has been dead since the New Deal. All it is now is a fig leaf for statism.
Yep. They discovered they could take earnings from one group and buy votes with it from another who did nothing (but vote) to earn it. That was the day our own government started oppressing and enslaving it's own people.
Today, we are nothing to them but sweat equity. In fact, our labor, or potential labor when we're born, is bought and sold on the market in the form of bonds.
Righto. They messed with it from the getgo, especially Hamiltonian/Marshallian Federalists. Things weren’t horribly awry until 1861. Then constitutional government slipped away for four years,; decades in certain sections of the country. Wilson lighted the way. Hoover was the first to treat peacetime disaster as equivalent to war. FDR maimed it. SCOTUS kept it on life support fir a bit, then for no good reason pulled the plug in 37, killing the Constitution for good 75 years ago.
The Revolution Was, as Garrett Garrett put it. I remember thinking the first time I seriously read the Constitution—in junior high when I should’ve been paying attention in class—what is this? Doesn’t sound anything like what I see on the news. So it’s always sorta been dead letters to me.
