It is my opinion we need to somehow muzzle the legal profession. It has been their capture of our Constitution and their obfuscation of its simple language that has led us into these deep dark woods.

Fully agree. A consequence of our freedom. The founders assumed the people would be informed and involved enough to keep our freedoms. Low information voters did not seem to be a problem anticipated.
Just not for longer enough Micheal. There are enough foreigners writing about America and its citizens after spending time in the country. They were amazed at how politically astute and knowing the citizen were. They were taught the Constitution in school and all attended religious (man's law could not trump God's laws) and political speeches for a very long time. The felt it a duty. And I am willing to bet they were much busier taking care of their livelihood than we have been.
Freedoms yes but the founders created our Declaration of Independance and our brilliantly sacred Constitution guaranteeing our freedoms knowing and openly stating that such documents could only withstand while we were a society with integrity at its core and a strong belief and commitment to Judeo Christian truths. Hence the statement "We have a republic if we can keep it."
The long-standing American made ideal in standards across all trades and educational systems digressed as capitalism was being replaced by successful capitalists motivated only by self-gain and greed and not the betterment of fellow countrymen. I began sensing things were going awry when the term 'if you can do it and get away with it, why not' became a popular euphemism in late 80's-90's. I'm sure I'm not alone in that sentiment and of course it's a simplistic claim in scope but I saw the lack of pride in a job well done then and still now as antithetical to the American way of life I grew up learning.
Yes, Dr. Nash; the result being that in general, the letter of the law has smothered the spirit of the law, and thanks to 40 years of Chevron Deference, the bureaucrats have emerged as an even larger threat to our freedoms. A good start would be a 10% reduction per year of the federal workforce. Easier to do when some agencies, Education Department, for example, are axed completely. FDA might as well go, too, since they are utterly worthless. I really don't know if I consumed any red dye today. Forty years later, it's still legal thanks to the effectiveness of the tax-payer funded watchdogs at the FDA.
The SCOTUS sold out We the (formerly) sovereign people to rule by un-elected "tenured" (lifetime) freeloaders lodged in the over 300 federal agencies, bureaus and departments - who make life hell for the productive class of American citizens - because they CAN - with NO fear of reprisal because of "civil service" laws and protections.
And the Congress ANNUALLY rewards this bunch of parasites with ever-increasing billions of taxpayer dollars.
Schedule "F" is to the un-elected bureaucrats as the 'Cross' is to vampires. BOTH are bloodsuckers.

The threat was recognized by Franklin....but not by not by the populace at large it seems.

And then came wilson and dewey
Yes.
Wilson & Dewey: America's hard-left turn begins.
That was then. Then there were those who began the long march through education and the bright and shiny enticements fellows...
Yes Dewey. The Federalist recent article "AmericaтАЩs Current Schooling Catastrophes Were Set In Motion 100 Years Ago" starts with John Dewey.

"Assumed." A ubiquitous word that can lead to all kinds of misapprehensions.
Low information voters and Christians who don't vote will be the downfall of our nation in my opinion.
