The apathy of "We the People" scares me. Unlike most of "The People" who are self-satisfied just having their say, I just spent five very precious years of my life (I,m 75) fighting for my Constitutional Rights in the courts. All three courts--District, Appellate, & Supreme--refused to address, or even acknowledge, my complaint. Our last bastion of defense against government control of The People--the courts--has "gone over", joining with the Executive and Legislative branches.
William J. Coughlin in his novel, "Death Penalty" probably summed it up best when he wrote... "The courts are really the foundation of our government. If the foundation is rotten, the whole house comes falling down."
