What I am suggesting has never been done before in the US. Which is why the "how it will work" arguments are nothing more than conjecture, mine included.

I would like to see a movement towards this sort of break with the past, because it would make our public sphere consistent with the highest ideals as they are spelled out in the constitution, and in the Supreme Court's interpretations of the constitution.

It is my conjecture that having that sort of clarity and consistency would actually calm the conservatives, who seem to suffer most when the double standards are allowed to exist, yet feel they have no control over which standards are being imposed upon them personally.

I think if the conservatives felt the law and government were acting consistently, and that laws were made more clear through the application of that consistency in the behavior of government employees (especially elected politicians!) they would feel much less like their way of life was threatened by the chaos they feel.
