Earlier this week, former Attorney General Ed Meese reflected on the importance ordinary citizens can play in preserving our Constitution:The Constitution of the United States of America has endured over two centuries. It remains the object of reverence for nearly all Americans and an object of admiration by peoples around the world. Unfortunately, the assault by 20th century liberal theorists and activist judges has seriously undermined respect for America’s core principles, denigrating some constitutional rights they disagree with and making up others. Fortunately, there has been a renewed interest in the Constitution in recent years, as Americans seek to understand the founding principles and enduring truths that form the bedrock of our chosen form of self-government. Clearly, the future of liberty depends on America reclaiming its constitutional first principles.  More News New Mexico

The Constitution FOR the United States. IT IS NOT THE CONSTITUTION of THE UNITED STATES. That phrase is proof of one's ignorance and lack of understanding. FOR is the preposition used in the document itself because the Constitution is the set of rules We the People created FOR the government to follow. Using the prepostion, of, implies that the document belongs to the government and not the We the People.

Next, the Constitution has not been followed or functioning since the first Congress met. Again those who make even the slightest claim that the government has ever followed the Constitution are ignorant of the history of the United States.
