Think With Your Brains, Not on Your Knees" I think you are saying since we have to ask if something is Constitutional before asking if it is good we are in trouble? "
We are supposed to be a nation of laws, so it would seem to be a good idea to make sure that whatever action is being considered actually conforms to what is legal. Should we not take the time to determine if the approach in question is the best way to achieve the 'good' result? IOW, is there a better way to do it? Do we want to set a bad precedent for future actions even if the desired outcome is a good idea?
Being overruled by a tiny elite's interpretation of an unnecessary Constitution has already had undesirable outcomes itself, so your scare story about the alternative is selective justification. Ignoring history, the political bullies who want to crush the will of the majority dishonestly claim that all American successes came from this "divinely inspired" document. Arabs actually believe that their oil wealth was a gift from Allah and wouldn't have been there if the Koran had never been written.
Now I disagree. I believe we are best off with a Constitution so that when "my people" are in power we can't inflict too much of our will on "them people".
Curious, I can think of a few, what are your ideas of undesirable outcomes of following the Constitution?
