(11,949 posts)You have some Christofacist like Barr who dont really like liberal democracy at its core.
But many more are small government libertarian types in the way they read the constitution. The last thing they think is constitutional is an imperial president. Not defending them as a whole. They will never rule for an expansive constitution. Many would eliminate SS and Medicare given the chance.
But they will not agree with an all powerful president either.
Personally I would like to scrap the whole thing minus the bill of rights and a strong Supreme Court and become a parliamentary system! But too many Americans have placed the constitution on the level of the Bible. I value neither one as a mystical charter.
On edit: I love Effieblacks posts.
