I believe in the Constitution. I believe in separation of powers. I believe in the rule of law. I believe in limited government.

The Senate, compared to the House, is where things are supposed to slow down, by design, Founding Father design. The Founding Fathers were hell-bent to stop government action.

It's an anti-government, pro-citizen document. And the founders wanted to make it hard.
Our Constitution exists to secure individual freedom, the essential condition of human flourishing. Liberty is not provided by government; liberty preexists government.
