The single most important election issue in 2016: The Constitution!

Bookworm Room
Constitution we the people

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”   — Presidential Oath of Office

"In this essay, I hope to establish three things:"

"I. That the Constitution is a unique document that empowers individuals over government, making it the bedrock of American exceptionalism;
"II. That Barack Obama has significantly damaged the Constitution’s preeminent position in American government, creating a dangerous imbalance in favor of an unlimited executive backed by a powerful, all-encompassing bureaucracy; and

"III. That we must choose our next president very carefully in order to redress this imbalance lest we wake up one morning to find ourselves living under a permanent de facto dictatorship." . . . Michael Hiteshew

Then the essayist goes on to make his case for the election of Sen. Cruz over that of Mr. Trump.
