4926 Obama said Ruth “left instructions” for how she wanted her seat filled. I am sorry what happened to Ruth, but it isn’t “Ruth’s seat”, the seat belongs to the American people (thehill.com) posted 209 days ago by tedandlisa123 209 days ago by tedandlisa123 +4926 / -0 243 comments share 243 comments share save hide report block hide child comments Comments (243) sorted by: top new old worst You're viewing a single comment thread.

This is untrue. The people made the society. The Constitution didn't make them. Without general rules, laws and a code of principles to allow for the flourishing of individuals, I believe societies fall apart. America existed before the Constitution. That one document isn't all the law that existed before or after. Most of life didn't change all that much. My point is all this flows out from the people and their culture. A good culture governs itself, document or not. permalink save report block reply ▲ 2 ▼ – MagicBeans 2 points 208 days ago +2 / -0 Point taken permalink parent save report block reply
