Did you see/hear Richard Dreyfuss talking to Tucker last night?
He was ridiculing Congress ("government officials") by suggesting he understood why they didn't understand the U.S. Constitution, because they quit teaching "civics" in high schools in the 70's!
Today: Every Senator has at least a 4-year college degree and only 5% of the House does not. Government is taught in colleges, and roughly 40% of Congress have law degrees, where Constitutional Law is a mandated first year course.

That is the one thing that makes our Constitutional Republic different from the vast majority of Governments. Our Founders deliberately made the Document extremely difficult to change so it would be the solid foundation that freedom and liberty could be built upon.
By the way. Mr Dreyfus is really pro civics, and pro Constitution. But, I wonder what he thinks of The 2d Amendment, which is one of our Bill of Rights?
