None of which matters in the least, because the perversion DID happen. The previous poster is correct---the Anti-Federalists WERE right, and in such detail that the accuracy of the predictions are frightening.
Whether something "matters" or not is subject to reflections against a standard. The Founders endeavored not only to create a "country," but also a mechanism which would defeat the attacks of evil.
One could say, if the attacks of evil were successful, then the Founders failed. But no one can be held to a standard higher than that which they can address. The Founders sealed the breach from their standpoint. It took an addition to the Constitution - the 14th Amendment - plus a Supreme Court ruling, to establish the merest thread upon which treason against the Founders could be maintained. The success of that extraordinary illegitimate effort is not their fault.
The question, therefore, that we are left with, is not whether we can understand what has been done. Very brave and even brilliant people have exposed the deceit. But what now? Who will step forward - and with what support? The usurpers of the Constitution are not fools - they smash certainty, destroy education, fill millions of ears with lies, and reward cowardice. So the endgame is already thrown and the traitors fill their goblets with wine and vomit their laughter in glee.
The question is, who will resist this perverse, demonic hell with the truth?
