I'm looked at as a radical because I want the Constitution followed

Still at it, huh Bill? Which one do you want followed? The one that Jefferson saw or the one that Hamilton believed? Madison's or Monroe's? Jay's or Jackson's? Bill, you know that there are honest differences about what the law means. That's why we have courts. Likewise, there are honest differences about what the fundamental law--our Constitution--means. Every disagreement over it does not mean that the parties who disagree are trying to tear down the Republic. If that were so then the founding fathers could all have been said to advocate tossing out the Constitution and with it, the nation.

I would not disagree with that statement or the overall gist of your entire post. However, I can find many, many specific examples wherein the Constitution is being flat-out violated by government. You may not want to get me started on this one because there's one particular area where I could write volumes. Anyway, I don't think we need to go down that road right now.
