Ask someone these days about returning Senate elections to the state legislatures and he'll look at you as if you were from Mars.
The early 20th century progressives [Roosevelt included] wreaked a lot of havoc on this country: destroyed the schools, created the Fed, and passed the 17th. I think they may have been worse than FDR at weakening the Constitution.

How about the "First Amendment Doesn't mean what it says", AKA Schenec v United States... from whence we have the saying "you can't yell fire in a crowded theater."
