Oh, feisty now. I recognize the reality of modern times; that means I haven't read the Constitution? Make no mistake, I have, but I've also long since removed my rose-tinted glasses. We are 250 years past the signing of the Constitution, and things have changed. If you look at legislation over the past century, you'd realize that most of our leaders have either never read or simply ignored our Constitution. Income taxes, the War on Drugs, the Espionage and Sedition Acts, the PATRIOT Act, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (and now 2013, too, thanks to Obama, Constitutional Lawyer Extraordinaire), undeclared wars in the Balkans, Africa, Middle East, and Asia, "In God We Trust" as our national motto, and a private central bank controlling the money supply. None of those items are Constitutional, but if those who proposed them cared, they would not have done it.
We should not have these things, but that is a moot point, because you know what? We have those things. We need to cope with what we have inherited, not close our eyes and dream of being dealt a different hand.
