As if they wouldn't do this at their first opportunity anyway.
I cherish the Constitution as much as anyone ever has. But the sad fact is, the U.S. Constitution is NO LONGER RELEVANT! It matters only to people like us -- a small faction of the populace that votes overwhelming for a political party (GOP) that doesn't give a rat's ass about the Constitution either.
At this juncture in history, our adherence to the Constitution only guarantees the death of the Republic -- we play the game under the constraints of the rule book (Constitution), and the opposing team doesn't even consult the rule book, knowing full well that the referees (courts) won't do a damn thing about it.
Yes, I know how this sounds: Ignore the Constitution in order to save the Constitution. Just explain to me how we can possibly ever win when we're the only ones playing by the rules.
You make lots of sense, but I’d rather use the constitution to resist tyranny.
Just in my nature I guess.
