Our Constitution has been under attack since the ink dried on it. It's an amazing document but it takes educated, moral, and principled people to insist that every level of government stay within its confines. This has not happened. We were charged to be active participants and overseers but few have any idea that this is so. The less moral that we became, more turned their faces from God, our sovereign ruler, and the more unprincipled men were put in positions of public service.
The oath of office means little to nothing to so many public servants; they don't know and don't care what the Constitution says. Our country was founded on very unique principles. It seemed to be quickly forgotten that “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” ― Benjamin Franklin. Also: Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. ― John Adams
