Is the Constitution flawed? I don't believe so, but have you ever noticed there is no penalty within its text for not following it?
For instance, at the time of this writing, the President (executive branch) seems to be doing whatever he wants regardless of any balance of powers enumerated in the Constitution or Bill of Rights.
The Judicial Branch of our government is supposed to be a watchdog over the Constitution and control the power of the other branches of government. The Justices however do not seem to be fulfilling this role very well as they give every appearance of legislating from the bench!
Historical and current thoughts on American politics, government, education, economics, and religion.

STARTING OVER
I started this blog around 2014, but didn't do much with it. It contained mostly my political thoughts. I have erased all these as they were all directional as to my way of thinking and my personal opinions.
I want to take this in a new direction, and make it more of an educational forum. I believe that most people, if given all the facts of a situation or problem will make an educated, well thought out decision. Notice I did not say they would agree with me, but that their opinions would be based on facts and careful thought as opposed to raw emotion.
