But today We the People wait for the government –often meaning five members of the U.S. Supreme Court – to decide what the Constitution is going to mean.

Therein lies the reason (IMO) that conservatives/libertarians cannot afford to splinter their votes among multiple candidates in presidential races. The court determines the direction of our country as much as the legislative branch.

Thanks, as always, for the heads-up. I love Sobran's sarcasm:

Who ever heard of a politician going to heaven?

These gents (all right, there are a few ladies among them) think an oath of office is something to be taken as lightly as, say, a wedding vow....

Again, there was only one bad paragraph:

The current war is a good example. An emergency results from the government’s abuse of its powers, so the government claims new powers in order to cope with the emergency. And if you don’t support these claims, you’re unpatriotic; if you think the government’s foreign policy helped create this mess, you’re "blaming America first."

..The Constitution is supposed to control the government, not vice versa...

I agree. Bump.
