Imagine if you and I had a contract but I constantly violated the terms. If you never did anything to enforce the contract, would that be the contract’s fault?
Of course not.
That’s the same problem we have with the federal government It’s not the Constitution’s fault. It’s our fault for not enforcing the terms.
A lot of people like to blame a document for failing to limit government. But words on paper can’t do any such thing. @mmaharrey10th pic.twitter.com/QY1gWqV3ft
