On Independence Day I usually contemplate what the United States means, and how that meaning compares to the reality. I have always argued that the Constitution is aspirational but today it seems that it is no longer even pretextual. Our institutions have failed us, because we have failed ourselves. We can’t know what comes next, but it is going to come as a shock to quite a lot of people. I'm not the sort of person who would normally advocate tearing it all down, but in this case it's been torn down- we have to think about how we are going to rebuild it.
