Over time (New Deal, Great Society, etc.), the firewalls of the Constitution were erased by activist judges, leaving us with the strange form of government we have today.


Fail. The judiciary is a very important part of what the founding fathers established. They are the guardians of the Constitution in a very real legal sense. The fact that people imagine the Constitution to be something else is the problem. This is one of the big stumbling block the right is facing; The Constitution does not say what you think it does. Just because you don’t like the Supreme Court’s rulings doesn’t make them activists. Ron Paul’s nutty interpretation has nothing to do with what the founding fathers set up. It’s best that the right lets go of this imaginary interpretation of the Constitution.
