Any congressman who'd respect, heed and obey the letter and spirit of the Constitution would not get our votes. Our hero is the congressman who exhibits the deepest contempt for the limitations of the Constitution's Article I, Section 8. Maybe I'm being too harsh. Maybe my fellow Americans think Congress is authorized to do anything that's wonderful. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislatures, and enforced in courts of justice.
Constitutional ignorance is curable whereas constitutional contempt is hopeless.
