        No, I’m quoting the Constitution because it means something to me, and maybe to you as well. I’m not talking to them.

        “They” will only accomplish their goals when enough regular people go along with it. Conversely, the Constitution will continue to have meaning as long as enough regular people are still invested. Despite some serious cracks and strains, it is holding up so far. I hope it continues to do so.

          The Constitution is soft on crime! Thank you for your attention to this matter
