Organizations that evaluate the effectiveness of democracies rank the U.S. a flawed and deficient democracy, and at the bottom of their rankings. So, it is urgent that we review the intentions of our Founding Fathers; what they feared; where, how, and why we deviated; how Constitutional guardrails failed; the current state of the rule of law; and, importantly, we must take the steps to restore our democracy to lead once again. NOTE: Facts, not opinions, must prevail with respect for all political preferences.
