“Many Americans, including me, notice that the Constitution only seems to be obeyed when those in power find obeying it convenient. Some Americans, not including me, fantasize that it’s not only possible to force government to obey it, but that doing so would magically solve all the problems that have them so upset so much of the time. It’s not possible, nor would it produce those results. As Rita Mae Brown wrote in 1983 (you may have seen the quote attributed to others), ‘insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.’ That’s ‘constitutionalism’ in a nutshell.” (11/19/24)
