Because we didn't get into the current mess overnight, and Constitution doesn't allow us to make a U-turn on a dime ……..

Au contraire my fellow Freeper. The truth of the matter is that the Constitution not only allows buy also provides the mechanism with which to do it. The mechanism is called “ELECTIONS”.

The newly elected President can reverse any and all executive orders of the prior President(s) and the Congress (both houses) can replace any existing legislation by with new. Those matters can be accomplished in the blink of an eye (matter of weeks if not days).

The problem that exists is that even though the Constitution provided the means it didn’t and can’t provide the will, either in the voters or the elected officials.

Sort of reminds me of a saying I first heard many years ago and that I’m certain that most everyone has also. It was true then and it certainly is true now, “where there is a will, there is a way”. :-)

Actually, it's "Where there's a will, there are lawyers."

And that's the problem.

We have DELIBERATIVE bodies. If you really could get every warm body in Congress to do your bidding instantly, then you wouldn't NEED a Congress in the first place.
