No, it is the current population of Americans that honor an evolved constitution that protects us. The Founders are dead as nails and protect no one. The constitution is only as powerful as the ruling class want it to be, and in the case of Guantanamo and rendition, it is ignored as it becomes inconvenient.
And there are speed limits posted on the roadways.
Take those signs down and see what happens!
But, its the usual bon afaire around here... point to the anomalies to push your points. Throw the baby out with the bath water!
"Get rid of that nasty, outdated Constitution."
Why? Because God is mentioned in it?
Do any of you know, or even care about the consequences of your words and actions.
Quis ut Deus?
