If that were true, you would not be continuing to embarrass yourself.

You flatter yourself.

I have read all of Farrand's notes, de Toqueville, massive selections of Locke, Hobbes, and Hume.

You just don't like the fact that Law of Unintended Consequences continually betrays your expedient preferences. It's typical of those who don't look for options, once their lust for power blinds them to the true range of options. Faith in the power of following God's Commandments opens one to options beyond the closed set. A rather famous Republican once referred to that as Providence.
