What the founding fathers also did not foresee was the granting of “citizenship” to corporations and special interest groups and the obscene amount of graft and corruption it injects into the already unstable old system.

Someone once remarked, “For such a young country, the U.S. has a very old Constitution.” We are long past due for a Constitutional Convention, but it will probably be proceeded by a massive disruption. It took the devastation of two World Wars to motivate Europe and Asia to modernize their political systems. How does the world’s largest economy reinvent itself in a globalized world without upsetting everyone’s apple carts?

I'm not sure it matter what the constitution says, when we have political parties that routinely ignore it.

Of what use is the tenth amendment, when the states are controlled by the same people who control Washington DC?

Laws and constitutions mean nothing. It is the people in control who decide everything. We are not a nation of laws, we are a nation of men. And those who are in control are entirely democrats and republicans. Remember, even combined, they are NOT a majority. But they have control.
