I don't understand why liberals hate the constitution so much... I mean, the Federal Government today can do pretty much whatever it wants. It can tax any event, or it can tax the absence of an event, infinite war, control of the money supply, it can regulate how much water is used by your washing machine, it can lock you up without trial, etc., etc.

Clearly, either all this is constitutional, or the constitution is powerless to prevent it. Either way, why do "majoritarians" spend so much time hating on it?
