Republicans don't care either. If you polled Republicans, and told them that to follow the Constitution, you have to fundamentally change US foreign policy and its implementation, eliminate social welfare programs entirely (not just control their spending), and get the feds out of just about everything they are doing now in labor, education, energy, just about everthing they now do.
No Social Security? Medicare? Student loans? Foreign aid? Undeclared wars? WWBKS? (What would Bill Krystol Say?) Answer: "No, we can't do that, we are a modern world power. We just have to rein in government a little, not weaken it. (By the way, that Obama, he cuts quite a figure)"
To return to first principles could frankly not be accomplished without a revolution and restoration. Through the political process, the best you can hope for is a conservative parachute placed on a socialist dragster hell bent for the finish line. And even that parachute is in jeopardy, thanks to Obama's authoritarian rule.
So the question I have is, "Who cares"? You might as well create a "SimUSA" with alternate versions of the country, it would be just as relevant. Unless you are willing to combine theory with action.
I agree with this analysis of the intent, by the way, and am not intending to be grumpy, but just pointing out that 90 years of encroaching fascism has led to a system that is not subject to being changed, even if James Madison himself came back from the dead and told us to. Nobody cares what the constitution says anymore.

Sounds GREAT to me!
