The Constitution must be perceived and conceived differently.It does not have to be changed or modified. We do not need a new one. The problem facing us is to examine the underlying structure the Founding Fathers saw fit to render into writing.That structure is just as important as the purely verbal surface. Of course, the language is very important, but keep in mind that the same word can mean many things and hence can open the door to verbal manipulation. For example, Citizens; an accepted legal fiction has a 'real' right to freedom of speech."Freedom of speech" is for real human beings, not artificially created ones that are legally acknowledged as fictions! The obvious underlying reason for the decision seems to be money. Another question, "Did Roberts save Obamacare?" Well, he's a young Conservative. He will be on the Bench for the rest of his life. Do you think he's worried about holding his job? Is this decision designed to create an impression that he is a fair jurist? What happens when they take another look at Citizens? Will one fiction riding piggy-back on another be upheld by 'fair' jurists? We don't know! Language can be manipulated and meaning can free-float above the real human bottom of triadic government. The bottom is not an abstraction, it's real, the human beings are real, concrete, engaged in the activity of living their diurnal lives; unlike a corporation that has been held to be a "legal fiction that exists only in contemplation of law". It's not only an abstraction made functional, it's ALSO a fiction. An abstraction is not "bad" per se. We need them to communicate but, an abstraction should be recognized as such and not as the reality being spoken or written about. We're at the bottom and I know for a fact that I am real, alive( so far), and so are you. I am one(1), you are one(1), we are Many, we are legion, we are Number! Number has to be counted. Democracy is an equation and every number must be considered in the conclusion. You leave out a number and its no longer democracy.
