It seems that many of the people who are attending congressional town hall meetings these days have some sort of problem with the idea that our current president is not adhering to the U.S. Constitution. They seem to connect this idea with their bogeyman, socialism. What is it that makes them think that the Constitution has anything to do with economics? Where was their outrage about the sanctity of the Constitution when G.W. Bush reportedly said that the Constitution was "just a piece of paper," to which he seemed to think he was not bound?

The Constitution was written to establish the organization of our system of government into three separate and equal branches of government. The Bill of Rights was added primarily to protect citizens from the government. Later amendments were added to address issues of the time, including giving black men, women and 18-year-olds the right to vote, presidential debility, electing senators, income tax, electoral college and 10 others. The only amendment which had to be repealed, Prohibition, was an amendment which, in essence, had only to do with controlling the behavior of citizens -- not the behavior of government.

There is not one word in the Constitution which protects capitalism from socialism or any other economic system. The United States Congress has the right to make law. The Executive branch has the obligation to enforce the law. The Judicial branch has the authority to decide whether that law is in concordance with the Constitution. That's pretty much it, folks. If the Congress passes a law restructuring the way we do health care in this country, and any part of it is deemed to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, it will be struck down.

It seems some of us have forgotten that one of the reasons our Founding Fathers put this amazing document together was, as stated in the Preamble, to "insure domestic tranquility." They believed in us. They believed we were capable of rational, thoughtful, informed discussion. Let's try not to let them down.
