If a hoity-toity liberal President Hillary Clinton tries to act unilaterally and shut down oversight on security grounds, will you feel the same way, and say the Washington Times shouldn't publish what she gets up to behind closed doors?

I think there is a fundamental difference in point of view between people who can see that far into potential futures, and people who can only see what's in front of their noses.

Similarly between people who can look back at the past and understand how it affects, not only the present but the future, and people who can't remember or understand the past.

If they had their way, they'd keep repeating and repeating the same old mistakes, with no comprehension why they keep having bad results.

It's up to the rest of us to stop them.

The wonderful thing about the Constitution is that it acts as a brake on the people who can't remember the past nor anticipate the future.
