The True Genius of the U.S. Constitution | Capital Commentary

The True Genius of the U.S. Constitution | Capital Commentary by David Koyzis.  MB: The true genius of the Constitution is also wrapped up in an enlightened elite, although that enlightenment is certainly not universal by any means - and certainly wasn't during segregation.  The Bill of Rights does not poll well among the citizens, however it does a fairly good job among modern elites, particularly graduates of major law schools.  Sadly, some think that such education is not a virtue.  They could not be more wrong.  Indeed, at one point, graduates of a set of substandard law schools were prized by one party because of their orthodoxy over their ability - and this has damaged their movement beyond measure in todays debates about marriage equality and contraception.  This has happened on occassion to the left, but not to the extent it now affects conservatism.
