disaster averted

JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS

The Constitution is in shreds, burnt by the very people who swore an oath to protect it. What a mess this highway robbery has turned out to be. It could be worse, pragmatically the U.S. is still in better shape than the rest of the industrialized world - our Constitution occasionally stops a government power grab here or there. The progressives have so effectively re-written much of it that limited government is in a century old remission. How can a Nation get back on track once the damage has been done? How can the two thirds of the federal budget - that is unconstitutional - be eliminated in a legitimate smooth transition? The rejection of potential justices on the grounds that they will not enforce the Constitution as it was written is a good start. People who wish to amend the constitution should use the amendment process not judicial fiat.
