Sunday Reflection: A More Perfect Union

 

On September 17, 1787, in Philadelphia, PA, the U.S. Constitution was signed by delegates from 12 states (Rhode Island would be admitted to the Union in 1790), setting forth the framework for a constitutional, democratic republic. The Constitution's Preamble is an eloquent summary of the reason for those first states to bind themselves together, and certainly one of the most committed to memory:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

The founders realized that the Constitution would be amended in the future to account for changing situations. The ratification of the first ten amendments -- the Bill of Rights -- would come later, in 1791. Article II, Section 4 discusses the impeachment and conviction of a President for "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors," which has been applied only four times in our history, twice to the Malignant Loser. His radical minions in the House of Representatives are eager to undermine the seriousness of that action and are looking to manufacture "crimes" on the part of President Biden at the behest of the Malignant Loser to even the score in his depraved mind.

We are further away from a more perfect union now than perhaps since the Civil War. The Malignant Loser has even called for a discarding of some of the Constitution to keep him in power and save him from accountability for his numerous crimes, which range from racketeering to sexual assault. He has millions of cultish followers who would obey his orders and overturn the Constitution if they could. For now, he's being prosecuted for many of those crimes, but his delusional and vengeful cult is intent on returning him to power by any means. They must be defeated, whether it's elections for the school board, the Congress, or the Presidency.
