		<description><![CDATA[In our Constitutional Law class in law school, we learned that the Constitution is a contract between the Federal government and its Citizens.  As you have so eloquently said here, it is up to us to enforce this contract.  We as Citizens have done a pretty crummy job.

We also learned that the Federal government simply does not have the Constitutional authority to do many of the things that it does.  Do you wonder why  the Commerce Clause is inserted into almost every shaky bill?  That&#039;s the thin veneer of justification that they use to rationalize their otherwise-illegal actions.

Sadly, I think that the United States Constitution is a dead document.  We as Citizens have neglected it for far too long and have transferred all of our power to our enemies.]]></description>
