Now how can we get *our* country (US) back to following its own Constitution?

I think we still have our country and the constitution is guiding it along pretty well. We should consider ourselves lucky to have had such great founding fathers that gave us a way of retaining our freedoms.

All we can do is vote for the people we think will best protect our rights. Americans can be pretty dumb, but we generally pick pretty good leaders. By that I mean we usually keep the wack-jobs and their poodles out of power. Well, not counting minnesota. There must be some shit in their water that fucks them up in the membrane.

What has really degraded America is the migration of state law to federal control. The same people that whine because you can't (or couldn't) smoke medical pot in California without the federal government circumventing state law and busting the blurry-eyed potheads are the same people that cheer for the fed every time it trumps a state law banning abortion. And vice versa.

It isnt our rights that have hit the shitter, it is the concept of state's rights that has been flushed.

Well, there is this thing called the Tenth Amendment! And I have heard some interesting rumors about six states wanting to press that one ...
