The liberals consider the Constitution an impediment to what they want to go with our government. Their idea of “rule of law” is judges who view the Constitution as a ball of Silly Putty, to be changed at their whim. That's why they avoid referring to the Constitution.
There is a danger that the people might read that document. find out that it was meant from the beginning to LIMIT the powers of government, and take it seriously. Now, we can't have that happen, now can we?
And that is why the liberals have to pretend that they don't know what the Tea Party people want. Under no circumstances can the other side recognize the respect for the Constitution which is a bedrock of the Party people.

The Constitution put into practice the government’s only duty as expressed in the Declaration, to secure our unalienable rights.
Try as liberals will, our Natural Law based Constitution cannot be legitimately turned into an instrument of Social Justice.
