With the number of times you've brought up the prospect of participating in armed revolt against our government (which is fucking scary, by the way, not gonna lie), I'd say that counts as intentional disdain for the constitution.

I'm sure that I don't have to tell you the why's and wherefores of the creation of the constitution, right? with that in mind, why on earth would people disregard history and allow the same abuses to come in to play that prompted our war for independence in the first place?

And I'm sure I don't need to tell you that the founding fathers were not a monolithic group, and just as some of them would be outraged by the more progressive policies we face today, others would likely be quite pleased.

the ends justifying the means is something alot of 'progressives' on here criticized during the republican years, but why isn't it that way during the democrat years? does ideology truly win out over factual straight reading text?

There's a big fucking difference between torturing people and providing for their general welf-- oops, I mean health care
I added more to my post btw, if you care to respond... not that it matters much.
