So what do we do when the people become so self-absorbed and corrupt that they continually select Congresspeople who destroy our system from the inside out???

“What is to be the consequence, in case the Congress shall misconstrue this part [the necessary and proper clause] of the Constitution and exercise powers not warranted by its true meaning, I answer the same as if they should misconstrue or enlarge any other power vested in them … the success of the usurpation will depend on the executive and judiciary departments, which are to expound and give effect to the legislative acts; and in a last resort a remedy must be obtained from the people, who can by the elections of more faithful representatives, annul the acts of the usurpers.”
–James Madison, Federalist No. 44, 1788

    But what happens when the voters are uninformed idiots who are more interested in watching dumbed-down reality tv shows, american idiots and idols, and dancing with the fools and stars??? Save us Mr. Madison!!!

      Well, the truth hurts but… the black community is a perfect example of how not to act. 9 of 10 blacks voted for Obama in 2008? Tell me that wasn’t the dumb empowering the power-hungry…
