A Lost Cause

Imagine knowing everything, every single little thing, every little detail, of a deadly disease and how it infiltrates the body and ultimately destroys and kills a person. You understand each stage of the death of the person and you watch as each stage happens, but you are powerless to stop it and you watch that person die a tragic death. 

This is what it is like to study the case law, and consequently, the destruction of our United States Constitution. 

I watched as my professor outlined the evolution of the Commerce Clause and how it has opened what seems to me to be a door that we will never shut again. There it was painfully outlined for me in black dry erase marker, in tidy columns, the journey from enumerated powers of federal government to a nearly all encompassing general federal power. 

I walked down to the front of the classroom when our class was dismissed and asked what can we do about it? He told me what I already knew-- America is dependent and comfortable and even wants this type of government. He said that we've got to get the word out and educate them. 

What a fight we have before us. It almost seems to me that it's not worth it, but I know better than that. It is not like a lost cause, it is a lost cause, but as Mr. Smith famously said when he went to Washington, those are the only ones worth fighting for. There are still little glimmers of hope, chances that we can stop the disease before a complete death takes place. 

Speaking of, I cannot sit around and type all afternoon, but must return to the task at hand and read a little more ConLaw.
