Nooooooo.....

Almost EVERY so-called ‘constitutional law’ expert is trained not in the constitution itself... not in its origins, its principles, its reasoning or its debates during 1787-89. But trained from the decisions made from cases argued on constitutional grounds or invented to have constitutional standing.

Those so-called ‘experts’ are trained in case-law and precedent. Arguments which learned to them an illusion of the constitutions meaning and principles.

Many constitutional contests were blatantly decided/invented from judicial whole cloth by activist jurists which then passed on a corrupt and adulterated understanding of the constitutions limitations and inclusions upon the general governments enumerated powers/authority.

So, no way... NO WAY do the childish and snarky Dems argue from constitutional knowledge. They argue from a script as they always do... from talking points and corrupt decisions making claims the constitution is whatever a supreme court decision or jurist makes it out to be.

That is why the Democrats want to pack the court. With leftist ideologues, demagoguery bloviating jurists. So they can have the constitution mean whatever they want it to mean.

And the so-called ‘experts’ will just follow along as sheep.

That’s why I say the Democrats have ZERO knowledge of constitutional law. Because they DON’T CARE for it’s original intent... they care only that they can interpret it any way they want to suit their agenda.

For good or for ill, Constitutional law has evolved over the history of our Republic, beyond what the original Framers codified. This started very early:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbury_v._Madison

Then there are all those Constitutional amendments!

So much—but not all—of that “case law” and “precedent” is a valid part of Constitutional law. Among Constitutional law practitioners, there are “originalists” such as Scalia and Trump’s Supreme Court appointees, who attempt to bring laws back to the original intent of the Framers. And there are radicals like Sotomayor who do just the opposite.

Then there are Dims like the Squad who have no training in Con law whatsoever! But they keep messing things up on their own, and call people like Ted Cruz and Hawley “insurrectionists”, when they are just following the Constitution and doing their sworn duty. So we have quite a mess, don’t we?
