"It is the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins."
Constitution Week seems somewhat bizarre in our current national climate. After all, our historical monuments and statues have been destroyed or removed, laws aren't even suggestions anymore, people are arrested for differing opinions, the country has no discernable border, and we have a crime mob family running the show from Washington DC. The US Constitution seems rather beside the point at the moment. It's not even taught anymore, from what I hear.
On second thought, though, this may be the perfect time to give our foundational document a serious read. If more Americans were educated in what the Constitution actually contains and how it was designed to protect all future generations, we might be better equipped to identify nonsense when we hear or see it.
For example, certain members of Congress want to establish "oversight" of the Supreme Court. All one needs to do is read the US Constitution to see that there are three co-equal branches of government: the legislative, executive, and judicial. No one branch gets to boss any of the others around. The Founders were big fans of the system of "checks and balances." Joe Biden and his throngs of power-hungry Democrats really should look into it before the country collapses into complete ruin. But of course, continuing chaos could be their plan.
Freedom of religion, of speech, of the press, of assembly, all seem to be remnants of the past. Yet they are purposely enumerated as the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution. Maybe download that document and give it a read-through--while there's still time to get smart and turn this mess around.
