It's A Curious Fact About Americans That In Their Most Fiercely Patriotic Moods They Are Willing To Set Aside Their Constitution, The Guarantor Of Their Freedom, In Order To Prosecute War -- Yet They Insist That The War Is For 'freedom'.

How Odd That Americans, And Not Just Their Presidents, Have Come To Think Of Their Constitution As Something Separable From The Government It's Supposed To Constitute. In Theory, It Should Be As Binding On Rulers As The Laws Of Physics Are On Engineers Who Design Bridges; In Practice, Its Axioms Have Become Mere Options. Of Course Engineers Don't Have To Take Oaths To Respect The Law Of Gravity; Reality Gives Them No Choice. Politics, As We See, Makes All Human Laws Optional For Politicians.

When Your Child Has Matured Sufficiently To Understand How The Judicial System Works, Set A Bedtime For Him And Then Send Him To Bed An Hour Early. When He Tearfully Accuses You Of Breaking The Rules, Explain That You Made The Rules And You Can Interpret Them In Any Way That Seems Appropriate To You, According To Changing Conditions. This Will Prepare Him For The Supreme Court's Concept Of The Us Constitution As A 'living Document'.

The Constitution Poses No Threat To Our Current Form Of Government.
