Yes, like George Washington. And Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and many other founders.

Violations of the Constitution, no matter who it is perpetrated by, must be condemned. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. It must be adhered to, or if you disagree with what it says, change it. The mechanisms where put in for changing it for a reason. They realized it was not perfect. In fact, they admitted that in the debates and in the Federalist Papers.

But words mean things, Roscoe. The words of the Constitution mean things. They restrict the government from abusing the rights, the unalienable rights, of it's citizens.

If you choose to ignore the words of the Constitution, you will lead us to that thing you rail about all the time: anarchy.

Violations of the Constitution

I'll take the real Constitution over the imaginary one you've propounded.
