Independence Day 2012
The problems is we have too many bleeding heart liberal dumb asses in congress. That started because in the early 1800s states started removing the requirement to own property to vote. By the 1850s I think all had completed it. I think AL was the last state to remove it (and they had not been a state long).
This allowed the looters to vote. People who had no stake in the system cold now vote themselves bread circuses.
But still this didn't have much impact because the states still jealously guarded their authority vis-a-vis Washington. It wasn't until after the states were eviscerated at the end of the war of 1861 and the start of the progressive era that this folly became the rule of the land and we began the long torturous slide into socialism and now communism.
And we were no longer protected by the court because Adams and Marshall started destroying it in 1801.
