Pointless Political Question.

[friedo]

Of course, by the way, under the topic of “officially screwed”, if things ever got bad enough, all we’d have to do would be to start ignoring the Constitution. There’s plenty of precedent: For over two hundred years, we Americans have been completely ignoring the official and lawful authority of the monarch. Official or not, a government is only as significant as the people under it think it is.

I’m guessing you’re referring to something from English Common Law here but I don’t know what. As far as I know the Constitution takes precedence over anything we inherrited from common law. Care to enlighten us?
