‘Holding public office is supposed to be about upholding the Constitution.’
In order to have this as a priority you must believe that the Constitution is based on truth about man and about liberty. You must understand that Constitutional government is by far the best system to promote individual freedom among a self-governing people and that liberty among an informed and truth loving people is a good thing.
Herein is the seed of self destruction of which the Founders left ample warning. With great liberty comes a great responsibility of the people. We the people must have integrity to live according to the consensus of morality. That is, we are law abiding as long as the law does not violate the ‘Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God’. We are citizens and free men that will not tolerate tyranny from the state or from the church.
Now what is the source of this kind of integrity? What led to the American Revolution? Until we understand the answer to that question, we cannot expect to see a priority, other than lip service, given to the Constitution.
America was greatly blessed to have a leader like Reagan, but he was unable to destroy liberalism. We the people informed with truth must destroy it just as the first Americans put an end to British tyranny.
