While I admire the Constitution Party for their devotion to adhering to the constitution, I cannot help but think that they have, in a sense, become like the Pharisees of Jesus' day. How? They see all others as inferior and no wrong in their own person. This isn't to say Constitutionalists are this way but that the PARTY is. Go with God, David Ketter I must commend you on your article and I must say that I wholeheartedly agree.

I cannot see any circumstances under which Mr. Baldwin is expecting perfection from anyone. What he wants is fidelity to the Constitution, something every American should desire, and he does not see any fidelity to our nation's law among either of the major parties. I wholeheartedly agree with his analysis. One would be hard-pressed to find almost any law, probably since World War 2, that did not skirt around the Constitution. To make excuses for defying the Constitution by saying "Nobody is perfect" would relieve our elected officials of all responsibility. After all, wasn't God telling His people the same thing when he said, "Be ye holy, for I am holy." ? We can't be perfect, but that is His demand, nevertheless. I'm not saying never to forgive any mistake by a politician, but when their pattern of conduct is continual disobedience to the Constitution, vote them out! And that would include nearly every member of the United States Congress, be they Representative or Senator. As a supporter of the Constitution Party, I have to take issue with this editorial.
