The May 30 letter, “Citizens must know their rights,” states: “We cannot afford to simply take what is given to us. The only way the government can be held accountable is for Americans to take time to understand their rights. We must return to the Constitution.”
This is the right-wing constitutional myth. All the stuff they complain about is the logical result of the Constitution as amended. Did the writers intend for us to have our 21st century government or did they screw up? The Constitution was written by the rich people for the rich people and everything is going according to their plan.
