The Constitution is not a living organism. It is not an airy-fairy set of aspirational principles. It is not a suggested set of guidelines on which we can embellish like some wannabe diva improvising on the "Star Spangled Banner."
It is, rather, the rubric under which our government is constrained to act - by virtue of power granted by "We The People!"
As Charley Eckman used to say, it's a very simple ball game: we - the people - granted limited powers to you, the government. You derive your power from us, you work for us and we - not you - are the master.
Repeal ObamaCare: repeal it now! It was unconstitutional from the get-go, it will propel us into Third World poverty, and the precedent of its adoption will serve as the death-knell of our American tradition of Freedom. It was devised to be difficult to amend for obvious reasons. Karl Rove and the other fellow travelers in the establishment GOP are one of reasons I am a registered Conservative.
