Sasse's lesson on the constitution and how it should be implemented as contrasted to how it is Being implemented is an almost perfect example of what is being taught in today's colleges and universities. When ever you hear of someone spouting ridiculous ideas, reasons, or outlandish conclusions, your tendency is to write them off as nutcases. But it is now time to take them seriously. Sasse's lesson is to show us how far away from original intention these ideas are. It's called Post Modernism. In other words everything we have learned since the Dark Ages is just so much crap and must be trashed. The very thought of it is so stupid that most of us tend to disregard it. That is a big mistake. The idiocracy is one big joke -- until it becomes real.Just take the Constitution on any given subject, factor in the Post Modern interpretation as a serious concept and Boom! you have the idiocracy playing out and running your life. Why? Because a stupid electorate elects a stupid legislature which also elects a stupid executive and court. Which is easier to control, a bunch of idiots or bright moral, people cognizant of their duties and how to implement them? At the last tally, it was discovered that 90% of bureaucrats are unneeded but they are the instillers of the Post Modern disease. I've been dieting and have lost 40 pounds so far, the least the Washington swamp can do is to trim at least that much fat with an ongoing intention of keeping to slice away until only those who have real jobs remain employed.

Impeccably well spoken on both counts. I pray America is listening.

Due to that speech, me dino has a better understanding how too many legislators manage to be reelected for lifelong careers ending with fat pensions~none of which they have earned or deserve.
I've often heard of "kicking the can (an issue) down the road." Today came the revelation of how a can can be kicked upstairs to the judiciary or laterally passed over to a bureaucracy to sort out into a new regulation.
Ah! New thought! Now me dino has an even higher appreciation of The Donald demanding that two regulations be canned for each new one added. .

Sasse's speech was printed in the WSJ. He was spot on, not that anything will change or any Senator will take his words to heart.

I would like Sasse for president.

I do agree that Cruz and Sasse were spot on in their speaking on this matter. Let us not forget however both are also as much a part of the problems and less a part of the solutions in Washington. Don't expect much to come out of any of this blather.

The Supreme Court is a cabal of communist thinkers...none of them has demonstrated an understanding of why and for what the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution were written...
