Just some insight into the liberal mindset/worldview - they believe that persons in positions of power in government are inherently more "perfect" than the masses they are ruling over.
Their Constitution, of course, was all about setting limits and bounds, and then checking and balancing any such powers which "the People" would jealously grant to those imperfect persons who represented them.
The sheer arrogance of this President and his band of "rulers" serve to prove the Founders' wisdom, as well as the need for "the People" to take back their Constitution, "bind down" (Jefferson) their "rulers" "by the chains of the Constitution" (again, Jefferson) and restore their form of self-government under a written Constitution.
Final paragraph of Joseph Story's "Commentaries on the Constitution":
§ 1907. If these Commentaries shall but inspire in the rising generation a more ardent love of their country, an unquenchable thirst for liberty, and a profound reverence for the constitution and the Union, then they will have accomplished all, that their author ought to desire. Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capable, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of fife, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence. The structure has been erected by architects of consummate skill and fidelity; its foundations are solid; its compartments are beautiful, as well as useful; its arrangements are full of wisdom and order; and its defences are impregnable from without. It has been reared for immortality, if the work of man may justly aspire to such a title. It may, nevertheless, perish in an hour by the folly, or corruption, or negligence of its only keepers, THE PEOPLE. Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.
