George Will: A bipartisan abdication: Facilitating Obama's imperial presidency

How much of this new reality in DC is attributable to lack of proper education about government, the constitution and civics?  It is becoming so that people simply do not know about, understand, or invoke the US Constitution.  Mind you, that is the document which lead to the creation and development of what has become the most powerful force for good in the history of mankind.

The US has become the most powerful military force, economy, and magnet for people from around the world, that man has ever known.  The Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution, are the basis for all of that.

Will, and Senator Webb, have demonstrated examples of why those documents are so important, and are being trampled.

This is what happens when our legislators vote for bills they have not read.  As Nancy Pelosi said, we have to pass it to know what's in it.  Well, we got what they voted for, whether we wanted it or not.

This bill should be repealed.

"Government is failing spectacularly at its core functions, such as budgeting and educating. Yet it continues to multiply its peripheral and esoteric responsibilities, tasks that require it to do things for which it has no aptitude, such as thinking and making common-sense judgments."

I could not agree more.  Zero tolerance has come to mean zero intelligence I think.
