I have long held the opinion that our Constitution was and is still the best written document ever conceived among men, for the purpose of organizing a workable society among free people, wihle maintaining that freedom.
It is the main reason I have always been a Constitutionalist, instead of adopting one of the usual political labels. A person who takes, and upholds their oath to the document's precepts can neither do, nor allow harm to the freedom of others.
For the most part, our woes nowadays stem from our failing the document, then anything else. People asking of government what they should insist on doing themselves, who are quickly followed on by people who value no oath, willing to steal from another to give it to them.
If there was a weakness in the scribbles of them back then, it was a simple oversight. They assumed something which there was no lack of, among those who worked so hard to craft the document. Something we are sorely in need of today, and can't seem to elect:
"Men of good will."
Damn us for everf settling for less!

Our grandchildren should never forgive us, if we sleepwalk through this one.
Notice that the overpaid liar class spends it's time warning us of a giant, coming, "something" but lacks the courage, sense of duty, forthrightness (dare I say "good will"), to name it.
Perfectly ok to drag it part way out of the closet to dangle and scare with... then back it goes for future use. Pathetic.
Notice that this govt agency considers itself, and it's survival,
not your survival,
not your freedom,
not the lives of your family,
just their skin to be the point of this excercise.
not their obligation to citizenry,
