Alas, it’s too bad that the Founding Fathers, with enough prescience to envision that future generations in a changed world just might cherry pick them for partisan reasons, couldn’t have added a couple of contextual, Constitutional zingers. To wit:
*”This country is special, indeed, exceptional. With that ever most in mind, never, ever forget that there are more important priorities than holding office in a representative republic. The most self-evident of which is: ‘Your country comes first.‘ Faction and party loyalties, let alone political ego, matter so much less. Obviously.”
* “When it comes to the First and Second Amendments in particular, please place a premium on common sense. Please.”
