With all the current discussion about what is Constitutional my mind wandered back to the forefathers. We are talking about a document ratified in 1787! Think of the world surrounding those men.
Candlelight and horseback.
And yet, what wisdom! They devised a plan that has somehow still resonates in this world dazzling with technology.
The question is - do we still have men/women of their intellectual stature? Are they entirely outside of the world of politics?
In a day where you have to search far and wide, high and low for a standard of any kind, to me it is gratifying that we're even talking, however esoterically, about one that was set 233 years ago!
