THIS is exactly why democrats need to be defeated in EVERY election.

They have NO grasp nor concern for our Constitution and this proves that.

They are no longer the ‘loyal opposition’; their ‘policies’/agend are a cancer to this nation.

Oh, they have a grasp of the Constitution, and especially the limitations on centralized power; however, that is exactly what they hate about it. And that hatred goes quite a way back, too:
… “Corporations grow on every hand, and on every hand not only swallow and overawe individuals but also compete with governments.The contest is no longer between government and individuals; it is now between government and dangerous combinations and individuals. Here is a monstrously changed aspect of the social world. In face of such circumstances, must not government lay aside all timid scruple and boldly make itself an agency for social reform as well as for political control? ‘Yes,’ says the Democrat, ‘perhaps it must.’” …

— Woodrow Wilson, Socialism and Democracy, 1887
That is the Democrats’ baseline, not the Constitution.
