“All government officers of the United States, including the President, the Justices of the Supreme Court, and all members of Congress, pledge first and foremost to uphold the Constitution. These oaths affirm that the rule of law is superior to the rule of any human leader.” [emphasis added]

Nevertheless, I am not now, nor have I ever been one of those presumptuous leftists who have infested most of our institutions of higher learning.]

“We the people" are the familiar opening words of the Constitution of the United States-- the framework for a self-governing people, free from the arbitrary edicts of rulers. It was the blueprint for America, and the success of America made that blueprint something that other nations sought to follow. […] The first open attack on the Constitution by a President of the United States was made by our only president with a Ph.D., Woodrow Wilson. […] It is no coincidence that those who imagine themselves so much wiser and nobler than the rest of us should be in the forefront of those who seek to erode Constitutional restrictions on the arbitrary powers of government. How can our betters impose their superior wisdom and virtue on us, when the Constitution gets in the way at every turn, with all its provisions to safeguard a system based on a self-governing people? To get their way, the elites must erode or dismantle the Constitution, bit by bit, in one way or another. What that means is that they must dismantle America. This has been going on piecemeal over the years but now we have an administration in Washington that circumvents the Constitution wholesale, with its laws passed so fast that the public cannot know what is in them, its appointment of "czars" wielding greater power than Cabinet members, without having to be exposed to pubic scrutiny by going through the confirmation process prescribed by the Constitution for Cabinet members. […] If the Obama administration gets away with [adding] a few million illegals to the voting rolls in time for the 2012 elections, that can mean reelection, and with it a continuing and accelerating dismantling of America.” [emphasis added]

We the people must not allow the dismantling of the rule of law in the United States. The Constitution's establishment of the rule of law is what stands between us and the barbarians at the gates. All our other safeguards, including our nuclear stockpile and our armed forces, are merely an elaboration of our sacred rule of law.
I am quite conscious of the "Constitution-shredding" taunts these same insufferable elitists hurled at President Bush, so I do not venture lightly into such trash-talking. But if, as has been alleged, Bush "shredded" the Constitution (presumably via the Patriot Act), then what would be a corresponding characterization of The Obama's wholesale assaults on the Constitution and our rule of law? How about "pulverizing"? Does pulverizing the Constitution work for you as well as hopey-dopey does?
Repeat after me, "We the people must not allow the dismantling of the rule of law in the United States of America."
