Wow, because I think that entities created by statute by Congress should follow Congress’ laws, I’m at odd with the Founders’ vision for the country? Amazing.

Allowing each and every civil servant to divine their own interpretation of the Constitution, without regard for the laws as passed by Congress and reviewed by the Supreme Court is asking for a form of anarchy, where civil servants each become a law unto themselves.

Sorry, I ain’t buying that as what the Founders intended. Get off your high horse and admit that you are only in favor of letting civil servants interpret the Constitution when their interpretation matches yours.

To further my point here, look at your own outrage in post #16 when you assumed the FEC had made the determination that WND incorrectly asserted -- you took them to task for substituting their judgment for the Constitution.

You can't have it both ways -- either they are allowed and competent enough to interpret the Constitution, or they're not. You can't just pick and choose on the basis of whether or not you agree with a specific interpretation.
