i dont think the constitution is this government-limiting fantasy many make it out to be. it grants congress and the government significant powers and provides them with a mechanism to alter the constitution to suit their needs.
i think snatching at the constitution in the manner that the OP does is disingenuous. the constitution is no holy book, but the OP is an example of folks who wield the authority in respected documents to frame up their own perspectives on how things should be. the constitution lays out a challenge to americans to help determine the course of the republic, and i argue that we are on that course. we don't always get what we want, but that is largely due to the will of others in the system that the constitution has laid out. the will of americans. are you with us or not?
