Constitutional Conservative? Oldest Trick in the Book

JBeukema · Nov 13, 2010

The U.S., however has a written constitution, and even from the start, it was a dandy fancy calligraphy, elegant prose and an extraordinary facility for packing a lot of substance into a teeny, tiny clause. Those First Amendment freedoms we start learning about in grammar school speech, press, religion, assembly? Forty-five words was all it took to guarantee them. It's no wonder so many young democracies have modeled their constitutions after ours, and no wonder we've spent the past two-plus centuries bragging that we figured a lot of this stuff out first.

That's what made it such a surprise in the mercifully just-ended midterm elections when so many candidates from the left and the right (but really, mostly the right) seemed to have discovered that, hey! We have a constitution, and hey, I'm in favor of it!

Yep.... I've been waiting for a candidate or 5 to come along and realize it.

Now I just hope they dont forget what they campaigned on.
