towards freedom and equality. It wasn't the case just for the US. It was an envy of the world. It certainly was the case for my native country as Koreans sought ideas from the US Constitution to make their path from authoritarian rule to democracy.
Now the Constitution is a road map to back the past. A mythologized and romanticized past, that is. Make America Great Again.
Dozens of school kids getting gunned down? There's nothing we can do cuz the Second Amendment!
The election coming down to just 7 states out of 50, disfranchizing the vast majority of American voters? Nothing we can do cuz the electoral college in the Constitution!
The accelerating gap between the top 1% and the rest? Nothing we can do. Money is speech cuz the First Amendment. The Constitution!
