Well, maybe their panties are in a twist.
But seriously, how often do you hear the term “Founding Fathers” anymore? Instead, this term “Framers” is used in news reports and in speeches by politicos. I remember one time Carol Moseley-Braun was about to say “Founding Fathers” in a speech, and she stumbled around it and finally said “our ancestors” instead. To talk about the “Framers” is politically correct speaking.

I used the word “Framers” because the author did. Normally I won’t use that word. I’ll watch it from now on though. Thanks for pointing this out.
I think it is to marginalize the Constitution by trying to make it sound like it was just those who created it that meant/thought/felt what it says and that the rest of the population did not feel/think the same way.
