Perhaps in its darkest hour, the Republican Party should be asking itself itself if maybe a "return to the fundamentals", the Constitution - ALL of it, not just the parts its leadership likes to trumpet while trashing the rest of it - isn't better than the rightist agenda it has been pursuing for the past 15 years.
