[QUOTE="okienate, post: 727380, member: 2897"] While I completely agree with the OP's perspective, you have to remember one thing: the Constitution is subject the the person (taking the oath) and their [U]perception[/U] of what the constitution means. Politicians have been warping the constitution with rationalized/revisionist perspectives for a very long time. Even if they were to be "true scholars" of the constitution, there still would be confusion on exactly what it says. This is why we have the three separate branches of the .gov (balance of powers, in theory, thinking we're going into a time where we'll see [U]imbalance[/U] of powers and "one ring to rule them all"....) AND the ability to vote. The American people will have to first WANT smaller government before they will truly vote for it. I'd like to believe that our people appreciate freedom more than they would a handout, but so far my desired beliefs are being crushed by a harsh, gimme-gimme, reality right now. [/QUOTE]
