I think they will be amazed at the technical achievements we’ve made, especially landing on the Moon, although I think they’d wonder why we didn’t follow up on it. As to the liberty part, they would be very angry indeed.

Approve? Hell, they wouldn’t even recognize it. If they were brought back and told what this country is now, they would weep openly.

They’d do the same thing to our government as they did to King George III.
And fight to the death.
Just a few things they’d be fighting against: taxes, abortion, sodomy, federalization running wild.

A number of the Founders lived in Connecticut and also wrote the Connecticut constitution.
It's interesting their view of the state's power of eminent domain was different from their view of the federal power of eminent domain.
Some other states had similar approaches to eminent domain ~ others restricted it more than the federal Constitution in fact.
I think federalism demands some degree of difference between state governments and the fed, state governments and themselves, and the fed and foreign governments be tolerated!

On Tyranny and Liberty: Would the Founders approve of the nation we’ve made? Can you imagine, Patrick Henry or Samuel Adams standing for a TSA patdown or supporting the 'Patriot' Act, let alone abiding by the "executive orders" from our kenyan dictator, Hussein 0bama?

Of course not! The sad irony is that the situation today with either party in power is much worse than the conditions that prompted the founders to declare our freedom from the tyranny of the British crown.

What a grossly disingenuous and nastily planned article. By starting off with the plight of a Supreme Court Justice up against petty bureaucracy, it implies the USSC is not a part of the problem - when in fact it is nothing less than the anchor point of the unlawful imposition of administrative law upon a hapless and ignorant population.
