Republicans talking about the constitution are like those men you see in restrooms, the ones putting water on their thinning hair.
Democrats talking about the constitution are like nervous shop keepers, afraid of shoplifting.
Most Americans fail to understand the constitution was a document designed to appease slave holders. The Founders didn’t imagine it lasting more than twenty years.
The founders did not give the Supreme Court the power to interpret the constitution in the way that Marshall essentially invented.
The US should have a constitutional convention every 8 years. We might then become a nation with a government “by the people”.
I’m just daydreaming in the Moline, Illinois airport. I’m a utopian in a plastic seat.
I imagine that were the men who first drew the thing up living in our century, they’d be utopians in plastic seats as well.
