In a sobering and critically important assessment, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has issued a stark warning to the nation, identifying a profound internal danger that threatens the very foundation of the American republic.

During an appearance on Fox News, the Justice stated that a lack of basic civics knowledge is a major threat to America, and he chillingly suggested it is “perhaps the greatest threat.” This is not an alarm sounded lightly; it is a diagnosis of a national crisis festering from within, a rot of ignorance that weakens the pillars of our self-governing society.

Justice Gorsuch provided a damning metric to illustrate the depth of this civic illiteracy, pointing out the humiliating fact that there are native-born Americans who would be unable to pass the basic citizenship test given to foreigners who wish to legally immigrate to the United States.

This ignorance creates a vacuum where the radical ideas of our founding cannot be understood, appreciated, or defended. The Justice powerfully invoked the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson, reminding the nation that “an ignorant people will never remain free for long.” [AOL]

Good Night, Patriots!
