There are apocryphal accounts among Latter-day Saints of Joseph Smith saying that the Constitution will someday hang by a thread and that the Saints will rise up and save it.
Eliza R. Snow, who knew Joseph well, said, “I heard the prophet say, ‘The time will come when the Government of these United States will be so nearly overthrown through its own corruption, that the Constitution will hang, as it were, by a single hair, and the Latter-day Saints . . . will step forward to its rescue and save it.’”
With Donald Trump ignoring court rulings, usurping powers reserved by the Constitution to Congress, and behaving in every way as a corrupt dictator, many experts claim that we are either in a constitutional crisis already or very near one.
And where are the Latter-day Saints in all this? From what I can see, they appear to be rushing forward with scissors in hand, with our beloved Sen. Lee Mike Lee leading the mob.
