Ruml wasnt wishing, he was reporting on things as they were --and are as far as I can tell. As Ruml infers, public policy trumps the Constitution. Take a look at U.S. v. BANKERS' TRUST CO., 294 U.S. 240 or Hudson County Water Co. v. McCarter, 209 U.S. 349, 357. Quoting the later case:
"All rights tend to declare themselves absolute to their logical extreme. Yet all in fact are limited by the neighborhood of principles of policy which are other than those on which the particular right is founded, and which become strong enough to hold their own when a certain point is reached. The limits set to property by other public interests present themselves as a branch of what is called the police power of the state."Other examples of public policy trumping the constitution include gun laws, nonconvertable money, standing armies, siezing grandmas gold coins in 1933, the list goes on.
As I said, I am seeking wisdom only here, and I will learn from you if I can.

I don't recall Ruml ever being crowned king.
The Constitutution, limits and set the bounds of public law/policy.
The legislative power of Congress provides the Public Law, that is policy.
Obviously you must be reading one of them new "living" Constitutions, not the Constitution for the United States of America."

Standing armies?
siezing grandmas gold coins in 1933:
gun laws?
nonconvertable money?
the list goes on.
What list, be specific and provide actual examples that can be evaluated and measured against the enumerated powers of the "Constitution for the United States of America."
Your mere assertion in these matters demands an actual review to determine what you think you are talking about. All I read, thus far is your personal uncritical opinion that such things are true.
As I said, I am seeking wisdom only here, and I will learn from you if I can.
Why do I doubt that very much? And who am I to be setup as someone to learn from?
Seek your own wisdom, if wisdom is what you want, it is not to be found here.
I'll discuss things endlessly, but wisdom, truth? Hey no way am I a font of that, all I can do is research and point to the historical record concerning the constitution and the laws of this nation so others can make their own determinations.
