We have a Constitution

and a process for amending it.

There has been talk, from time to time, of rewriting our Constitution.  Certainly any reasonable person would think that now, when we are so divided and combative is not the time to do that.

Certainly, there are changes that need to be made but the existing amendment process that would normally work is also compromised by those same divisions and fights.

The Constitution is very clear about some things and intentionally vague and open to interpretation in others.  I think that's by design.  However, that's not really the problem.  The problem is that the division of the 2 major parties, to the exclusion of any other, has resulted in nearly complete abandonment of what is actually in the Constitution.

The current administration, lead by a pathological con man who is completely disinterested in anything other than whatever happens to be in his own mind at any particular point in time, has little interest in our Constitution, particularly if it is at odds with the current interests of the Lunatic in Chief. (He has been diagnosed by many professionals).

Even those who probably know better are ignoring what the Constitution says because it serves their immediate purposes to do so.

Still our Constitution exists and will, eventually, be the measure of the lawlessness that currently reigns in the White House and other government institutions.  It is the basis of the Law of the land despite the Supreme Court's own abandonment of its principles whose purpose is to rule on the Constitutionality of all subsequent laws and regulations.  They too will be measured by those principles.
