The federal government could be most easily compared to a diaper. It needs to be changed often, and usually for the same reason: It gets pretty crappy. The problem is that people hold party loyalty rather than office loyalty. When you are given a government position, you do not do what your party tell you to do. You are to do as the constitution tells you to. If something follows the constitution and the people are for it, you get it passed. If something follows the constitution and the people are against it, you don't pass it. If something does not follow the constitution and the people are against it, don't pass it. Most importantly though, if something does not follow the constitution, despite however many people are for it, DO NOT PASS IT.
The spirit of the law is above the letter of the law, but we do not simply disregard the letter of the law.
