” If you refuse to even attempt the methods written into the Constitution expressly for the purpose that is now being proposed, how can you claim to support the Constitution?”
Sorry, but we’re past the point of no return. At best we can moderate big government by electing good people, but that is getting tougher as more and more people in America turn their backs on God and any concept of self-control.
The Anti-Federalists were right: once the structure is created for power, power WILL flow to it. But letting the modern idiots amend the Constitution would only eliminate what mild and mostly toothless protections we now have.
What we need in America is a RELIGIOUS revival. Only then can the power of the majority restrict the excess of the big government types.
They were proved very wrong.
