As I said earlier, I will condemn illegal and immoral acts.

Good luck defending the Constitution if you break it yourself. (and good night, for now)

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

You're obviously not familiar with the excerpt from a certain document.

Oh, and the Constitution is not a limitation on citizens it's a limitation on government so the government is the only entity that can break it. We need to by whatever means possible ensure it doesn't get broken. That's what many here are trying to say.
