To me, the constitution is a close to holy writ as exists on the
earth.  It is quite the mark of a provincial person who judges all
history according to the latest fads and cliches of his own
little culture.  Since the Athens of Pericles there had never
come together such a collection of great people as did in the
late 18th century in the 13 colonies.  Never since has this country 
had the benefit of such intellects to guide its affairs.  
The current crop of politicians seems to be composed
of psychopaths and pussy lawyers.
