I read and re-read the US Constitution and find it to be most amazing, both in its simplicity and tremenously intelligent content; one of the most viable documents ever written; as important today as it was when written. So important that elected officials swear an Oath of Office to "...protect and defend..." it just prior to ignoring it completely(where are the honorable people?). That we have had leaders and justices who would subvert the Constitution shows us that we the people have been too busy to care about the reprobates we put into office. All men would be tyrants if they could, stated Abigail Adams...and she was right...then and now. Only in her day the intelligent people were declaring an independency from much the same as what is going on right now in this country...history repeats...so it is good to know what the history was to avoid falling into the enslaved trap yet again. But for some, only a slap up along side the head with sledge hammer will remind them.
