These social architects view the Constitution as a hindrance and they believe the over time the basic premises of the document which they see as severely outdated, will be buried under a mountain of legal interpretations and some amendments.
They got most of the amendments during the post WWII period using the depravity of war and the resurgence of the American economy as cover. They git a lot of the interpretations like "one man one vote", "separation of church and state" and similar distortions of truth. Now they plan to use a depression or at best a severe recession to do more.
The idea is to form the perfect society, with them at the top of the food chain of course. The quasi-intellectual poop that they espouse and share between them sustains them as they wait for this perfection.
I don't know how you defeat them because they will blend into the surroundings during times of strife or conservative control. They teach our kids, run our social services and populate the droves of people who write our text books.
They are so prolific now that they don't bother to hide, but one day......one day that will change. It must, or we, the American Republic, the great experiment, will be lost to European style socialism.
We will not be lost to "European style socialism", we will be lost to Maoist Communism. There is a difference. Just ask the 77 million and counting dead Chinese.
