The flaws don't necessarily lie in the constitution, a brilliant document, but the founders could not have anticipated such widespread corruption and dishonesty. I know I couldn't have.

There have been plenty of republican politicians that I have strongly disagreed with as regards policy, but many of them really believed in our constitution and wouldn't have gone along with such in-your-face disregard for our traditions and institutions.

The founders created a remarkable democracy that has been the envy of the free world over the years, but there are 21st century flaws among our voters, the media, and politics that they couldn't have expected. I don't know if we've jumped the shark yet, but I dread reaching a point of no return.
