What an excellent and balanced post.

There is a lot of talk about our Constitution (and alarmist comments about a constitutional crisis on the horizon). I keep going back to the excellent book by Richard Haass "The Bill of Obligations (Ten Habits of good citizens), an expanded version perhaps of JFK's Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
