The Constitution, as you outlined, is the answer to our problem.

Roberts stipulated that it was THE Problem and so in that I made the point that she is ant-contitution and therefore advocating that the BASIS for our form of Government is a “Problem”.

Did she follow-up her point stating that the Constitution could be the solution with some improvement?

I didn’t here that she did.

I take your point.

IMHO, the system of checks and balances is the best feature of the U.S. government model. Here, in Canada, a lot of people prefer minority governments -- because it provides more checks and balances than we usually have. A majoritarian type of government can get things done faster -- unfortunately, those are often the wrong things.

Roberts, and her ilk, would be saying exactly the opposite things; if there were a conservative President in power. They'd want to keep Presidential power in check.
