what does the constitution do for you?

Answer 1

Not as much as it did before Bush.

Answer 2

Used to restrict the federal legislature, but it seems a lot of congresspersons (i.e., Lautenberg, Feinstein, Clinton, and others) could care less about the Bill of Rights or constitutional restrictions placed upon Congress.

These people just draft whatever legislation they want and leave it to the individual citizen to challenge these bad laws in court, at the individual's peril.

Answer 3

It provides for the very foundation of my freedoms!

For over two centuries the Constitution has remained in force because its framers successfully separated and balanced governmental powers to safeguard the interests of majority rule and minority rights, of liberty and equality, and of the central and state governments. More a concise statement of national principles than a detailed plan of governmental operation, the Constitution has evolved to meet the changing needs of a modern society profoundly different from the eighteenth-century world in which its creators lived.

Answer 4

Not a thing. It has been dead since the '60s when the nation's courts, including the Supreme Court, were taken over by liberal, activist judges appointed by liberal politicians, who believed (and still believe) in legislating from the bench.

Answer 5

Wow, what an awesome question! I'm going to have to get back to you on that...not sure anymore...
