Fallen down the Hill

Fallen down the Hill “Liberty may be endangered by the abuses of liberty as well as by the abuses of power. ... before such a revolution can be effected, the Senate, ... must be in the first place corrupt itself... must then corrupt the House of Representatives and must finally corrupt the people at large. ... the Senate must be first corrupted before it can attempt an establishment of tyranny” “As to corruption, the case is not supposable,” according to John Jay. “In short, ... the Constitution has taken the utmost care that they shall be men of talents and integrity...” Can you believe how far we have fallen down the shiny city on the Hill?
