And whos to blame.?.. US.!.
For failure to excute the 2nd amendment option..
You know... the reason the second amendment was given to us..
To make revolution LEGAL.. We have met the enemy and is US..
A fat and cowardly US.
The conundrum is the Declaration of Independence calls for rebellion if the government usurps the rights of the people and the Constitution demands allegience through military enforcement to the government no matter how corrupt it becomes. The framers obviously thought they had given us a framework that would help prevent the need for resolving the conundrum but at the time they did not consider the concentration of power into political parties nor did they intend for the Senate to be an elected body subject to the whims of the electorate and special interest groups. They were supposed to be custodians of States Rights insulated from the swings in voter opinion by their state legislatures. The 17th Amendment indeed began the continuing rotting of our Democracy and the dictatorship of special interests. The Senate no longer functions with a concience of what is best for the country but what is best for the "party".
