“But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:13 (NASB95).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

Every four years, prior to the presidential elections, we are inundated with screeds decrying the United States Constitution, like the New York Times recent piece saying our founding legal document “is dangerous.” The contempt usually boils to down to some combination of it being too hard to amend and power too diffused. When you understand the fallen nature of man, as our Founders did, that’s kinda the point.

Make no mistake about it, these complaints about the Constitution are nothing more than a thinly veiled pretext for totalitarian preference. They hate our constitution because that hate individual liberty.
