When you start messing with the Constitution and what this country was founded on - our baseline is what we call it - it just opens up too many doors.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In my opinion, you start messing with what this country was founded on, and our baseline is what we call it, it opens up too many - too many doors. You start messing with that, people can say religion kills people. So, let's start messing with that.
There are loads of countries that have nice written constitutions like ours. But there aren't loads of countries where they're followed.
I have been a firm believer in the federal structure of our country as enshrined in the Constitution.
This is a time for a national conversation. A conversation about the document that binds us as a nation and a people. That document, of course, is the Constitution.
The ultimate touchstone of constitutionality is the Constitution itself and not what we have said about it.
The notion that it is improper to look beyond the borders of the United States in grappling with hard questions has a certain kinship to the view that the U.S. Constitution is a document essentially frozen in time as of the date of its ratification.
It is becoming more widely acknowledged that it is better to have a good constitution than not having a perfect one.
Let all Americans sit down and read this great document. Since the Constitution's ratification, it has been the framework for our great nation.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
And I think we as a people need to stop being disingenuous about what the Constitution provides for. It does not provide for this all-encompassing power that we've seen exercised over the last several decades. It's what's gotten us into this bankrupt position.
