It's an opening. It is my belief that liberals and conservatives are now so far apart that we can no longer live amongst each other.
For the "professor": it's obvious he does not understand the Constitution. It's framework, and the difficulty in amending it, are its purpose. It was meant to be hard to amend/change! It was designed to limit government, something this "professor" obviously does not like or agree with.
Check out the trailer for this film. IMHO, it's spot on.
