The Attack On Our Constitution

Sunday, September 17th, was Constitution Day, which celebrates the signing of America's Constitution on that date in 1787. Sadly, CNN decided, on September 11th, to dishonor the document by providing a platform to a couple of Harvard University professors of government who attacked the Constitution.

The professors, Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, told CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta on the "Newsroom" program that our Constitution was a threat to our democracy. The two professors apparently don't like the "checks and balances" our founders put into the system. They have written a book entitled, "Tyranny of the Minority," in which they conclude the Constitution is outdated.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that we are a constitutional Republic, not a democracy. That is why, for example, the founders created the United States Senate, which gives each state two senators, regardless of the size of their population. They did not want a small group of large states to be able to force their policies and values on the whole country.

It would be easy to ignore these two Harvard professors who seem to be so oblivious to the genius of America's founding documents. Unfortunately, their attack on our Constitution will be applauded by many on the left, whose schemes to convert America into a "socialist paradise" are thwarted by the wisdom of our founders.

Virtually every right we have, embodied in the Bill of Rights, which are the first ten amendments to the Constitution, is under attack by powerful forces in government.

We have regularly reported on the Biden administration's efforts to limit the First Amendment's freedom of speech and the freedom of religion. They also would be happy to erase the Second Amendment's guarantee of law-abiding American citizens having a right to bear arms. Earlier this month, the far-left governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham, literally announced she was suspending the Second Amendment, a power she does not have under the same Constitution.

The real threat to our constitutional Republic isn't the Constitution, it is the power-hungry "wannabe" tyrants in and out of government who want to erase our God-given rights and make us kneel down to them. Just one more reason why America's men and women of faith must be active Christian citizens.

A New Day Dawns in Washington

On the first day of the Trump-Vance administration, President Trump issued hundreds of executive orders. One asserted that there are only two sexes, male and female. In doing so, the president was merely repeating what the Bible tells us in Genesis 1:27: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (ESV).
