It seems to me that these people (yes, aided and abetted by RINOs) live, and have been living for some time, in a post-constitution US, how did we get here?

Power attracts the people who never cared for their fellow man but only for themselves. The kind who fears neither God nor man.

Lyndon Johnson put the first bullet into it, Bill Clinton began to just ignore it and Obama actually began the effort to destroy it with his “beer summit.” Brandon is too demented to know what he is doing but his Obama puppet masters know full well what they are doing and continue to do it at an accelerated pace with both eyes on the November election outcomes.

1934, with the NFA. Reinforced in 1938 with Miller. Expanded again in 1942 with Wickard and killed completely in 1964 with the CRA.

They decided early on to start to destroy the Presidency when Nixon was forced out and went full bore when Trump won. They love the saying, it became necessary to destroy it to save it.

United States v. Butler, 297 U.S. 1 (1936)(Congress can tax for the purpose of the general welfare and not the enumerated purposes in the tax and spend clause) and Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 (1942)(Congress may prohibit economic activity directed an only intra state activity for personal consumption under the commerce clause because such activities may have an impact on interstate commerce).

Barack Obama’s Poor Understanding of the Constitution
Nov 3, 2008 — Obama in his interview disparages the Constitution as merely “a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can’t do to you.

When they found nobody cared about their misdeeds, whenever that was. But I’m sure it started small and exploded to what we see today, or don’t see...depends on affiliation and how much you benefit.

When the constitution became a “living document” it started dying, as it then failed its original purpose. I have always been a strong defender of First Amendment freedoms, and in my life time, the First Amendment’s protections shrank as new “crimes” were invented that took perfectly normal acts of expression and criminalized them by claiming some criminal intent. “Harassment” tops the list. Now they are destroying the idea of a “Republican form of government” with blatantly rigged elections. Something must be done. Yet, nothing has been done.

It has been dead to progressives since about 1900.

A core value of Progressives (both Republicans and Democrats) was/is the Constitution is outdated and needs to be ignored/worked around.

Progressive presidents:

Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt,Truman, Eisenhower?, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford?, Carter, Reagan(former progressive), George Bush, Clinton, George "Dubya" Bush, Obama, Biden.

Trump is not a progressive, it seems. It is not clear if Eisenhower was a dogmatic progressive, or Ford, but it clearly was the dominant philosophy of both Republicans and Democrats at the time.

As they become more evil and perverted, they further despise morality and freedom.
