Sheriff Mack's answer is blunt and sobering: "Pragmatically speaking, no, we don't."
Key Points Discussed:
Sheriff Mack explains how both major political parties routinely violate the Constitution at will, believing they have better ideas than the Founding Fathers. He highlights specific constitutional violations:
- Reckless Spending: If Congress followed the Constitution, America wouldn't be $38 trillion in debt
- Unconstitutional Wars: Both parties entangle us in foreign conflicts without proper constitutional authority
- Second Amendment Violations: Democrats especially treat the Second Amendment as if it says the opposite of what it actually says
- Welfare State Expansion: Both sides push unconstitutional welfare programs that exceed federal authority
While Sheriff Mack acknowledges that Democrats are worse offenders, he expresses frustration with Republicans who "try to act like Democrats" instead of defending constitutional principles.
The Bottom Line:
The Constitution exists on paper, but pragmatically—in terms of what's actually happening in government—it's not being followed or enforced. Both parties have abandoned constitutional limits in favor of expanding government power.
Call to Action:
This isn't just a political problem—it's a constitutional crisis. If you believe the Constitution should be the supreme law of the land, it's time to demand accountability from elected officials at every level.
