The framers were not gods and were not infallible. Yes, they gave us, and the world, a blueprint for the protection of democratic freedoms — freedom of speech, assembly, religion — but they also gave us the idea...that South Dakota should have the same number of Senators as California, which is kind of crazy.
Never mind that the reason it was done so that the smaller states did not become the mere vassals of the larger ones, which is not so crazy if your goal is to respect the views of all the states and not to let the larger ones run roughshod over the smaller ones. Further, to find the wisdom of that, one only has to observe what a cluster f*ck California is and how fortunate we are not to have them dictating their lunacy on a national level any more than they currently do.
They created checks and balances to neutralize any concentration of power. This often makes for disorderly government, but it does forestall any one branch from having too much influence. The framers weren't afraid of a little messiness. Which is another reason we shouldn't be so delicate about changing the Constitution or reinterpreting it.
They checks and balances were placed to prevent omnipotent central authority, which is exactly the goal of of the left when they want to change or reinterpret the Constitution.
Speaker of the House John Boehner has asserted that the President is in violation of the War Powers Resolution, passed in 1973, which requires the President to withdraw U.S. forces from armed hostilities if Congress has not given its approval within 60 days.
Obastard is
is in violation and if it was Bush this asshat would be apoplectic about it.
The government also compels us to buy car insurance (if we want to legally drive our car), which is a product from a private company.
First off, car insurance requirements are state and not federal law and if you cannot grasp that distinction, the last thing you should be doing is writing an article about the Constitution and should be taking remedial civics. Secondly, this has meme has been trotted out by liberals in so many instances and has been thoroughly debunked so many times, that anyone using it yet again, has no gift for depth of thought and is clearly confusing the regurgitation of liberal talking points with rational thinking.
