I don’t actually mind someone saying they think the Constitution is flawed. What troubles me is when they decide that they can therefore just ignore or reinterpret the parts they don’t like, rather than amending it. We’ve been learning for centuries that governments must be constrained by inviolable, written laws - and many modern liberals would just throw that principle aside in favor of the belief that if they just elect the right leaders, all will be well.

Resulting in:
A government of men, not laws, swayed by mob rule.
