A caller to the Rush Limbaugh show asked how our Constitution has failed us. If a constitutional form of government is so great, how did it let us get to this point?

Rush’s answer is spot on…it’s the politicians who failed us, not the Constitution.

The essential safeguard in that document is ‘separation of powers’, and if (or when) any of the three branches fail to uphold that crucial process, bad things happen.

Democrats in Congress, in lockstep with Obama, gladly gave it away.

Republicans now control Congress, but refuse to take it back.

In effect, they’ve given Obama carte blanche…to their everlasting shame.

The brilliance of our founding document has been squandered by cowardice.
