CONstitution or PROstitution?

The other day, on MSNBC, one of the commentators said that the candidates who won in the primaries won because they got the most votes. A truly profound statement? Ex Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin said of California's prop. 8, that the third branch of government went against the will of the people. But isn't that the role of the judiciary? Aren't they charged by the constitution with protecting the minority from the majority as well as vise-versa? Yes to both. On Jon Stewart's Daily Show, one of the guest comedians suggested the word CONstitution was a poor choice. Well, with all the Pros and Cons, I agree. He suggested a kinder, gentler term. The PROstitution, would have been better. Jon pointed out that the term Prostitution had already been taken. The Tea Partiers as well as most other groups, claim the Constitution is perfect and should not be tampered with. Then in the next breath, they talk about changing this or that part of the Constitution. They don't like the way the President or the congress is doing this or that. They all seem to forget there is a fourth branch of government. That branch does it's work two days a year. Once it speaks, that decides who will run things for one term of office. The next time you hear somebody say the government isn't listening to the people, point out that it does. Every two years. The people have the last word. In 08 the fourth branch decided it wanted the Democrats to run things completely. Maybe it hasn't done that all that well. Maybe the fourth branch will change the 08 decision. Maybe not. Whatever it decides, quit complaining. Especially if you haven't voted.
