Wishful Thinking

"?This New Year, American citizens will file petitions requesting that Congress force the Federal Government to obey the Constitution.? The impulse to demand that government constrain itself within some kind of boundary is understandable, but to expect it to comply with any kind of restrictive parameters set forth on a piece of paper is laughable. It would be far more conducive to the cause of liberty to highlight the fact that this document called the ?United States Constitution? never had any legitimacy in the first place, and thus the very existence of the Federal government is itself illegitimate."
