“If the Founding Fathers laid down on the job in response to their day’s reality, there would have been no United States. Great men shape reality rather than succumb to it.”

I agree, but great men also work with the realities of what they have.
This isn’t 1776, none of the parties involved in this are pure as driven snow and the laws in question are complex and not easily resolved by a couple of paragraphs copied and pasted on an internet forum.

I understand that emotions are running pretty high about this but the topic of this thread was really about the current rule of law.
Not how things ought to be. Not what the founders would have done since the current reality is much different now.

No, great men transcend the realities they have to face, and even surmount them. Those who “work with” the reality are ordinary men, rather.

The rest of your post is filled with nonsequiturs. The Founding Fathers weren’t as “pure as the driven snow” either (no man is), but they had faith in God, which is the key here. “This isn’t 1776”, so submit? What makes 1776 different from any other revolution of the planet?

Don’t speak about the “current rule of law” when those at the top rule by fiat.
