I think all of us would accept the premise that the earth and the world upon it belong to living generations. It is a vast engine and the only permanence it brings is complex interaction accompanied by change. The Founding Fathers recognized this and made accommodations for it in their new republic. As such, the United States abides by the rule of law derived from its constitution as interpreted by the senior jurists of its highest court. The latest issue (May 17) of National Review is dedicated to the U.S. Constitution, its evolution over the past two centuries, and recommendations on restoring and ensuring its traditionalism. I think it's another landmark for the magazine and deserving of your attention. Unfortunately, it's not available free on line - got to pay those bills - although some articles may appear at NRO in the future. You can review the contents and purchase the May 17 issue here for $5. Better yet, head to your local library for a free read. If your politics is right of center and political history is an interest, this issue is an essential. I think we'll be hearing more about its contents for months to come. Once again, National Review proves it is an exceptional source for thoughtful interpretation of the American experience.
