"Its just a damn piece of paper." Al Gore.
Actually its animal skin and its more than that its the written version of an idea for a Government that before then has never been tried before. With rules to keep power hungry people from making up rules as they go along once they are in power. And a list of rights that restrict a Government over its people its meant to serve humbly. With even a provision to rebel and tear it all down and start over if it becomes too corrupt. In its pure form its like the best like the best drug. Its words fill the soul better than the best song. Its only flaw is that it cares too much for the people and lets the people speak through voting even when there are 45 Senators that don't want to hear from the unwashed masses who they believe exist to provide them with wealth and power. When the reality is they aren't worth the suit they are wearing.
Now we wait for case to come before the court to see if they can unhold the constition and make all of our efforts to get them there worth the trouble. Or if they are going to be seduced by the power and kick the can down the road until the total fall of America and then the Constitution will be nothing more than a piece of paper. Far less important finding something to eat or protecting your family from roaming gangs that take over after the Government falls apart. With no laws to protect us I'm sure it would be something like that. Dibbs on Al Gores mansion BTW.
Anyway. Sorry about the rant. I'm glad to hear about the gears of government moving and that we have a full Supreme Court again.
