It’s views like this that make it clear that we have a problem in this country:

The Constitution Is the Crisis

For the author, one Osita Nwanevu, the fact that the Constitution doesn’t give him everything he wants, exactly the way he wants it, is enough for him to stamp his feet and demand that it be done away with:

The American left should work toward abolishing the Constitution someday—either for a new document or a new democratic order without a written constitution.

Uh-huh. He makes it plain that his goal would be court packing and the destruction of the Constitution specifically to make it impossible for the Republican party and conservatives in general not only to hold a majority, but to even *exist.* A nation that sets up a government specifically to lord it over half the population, and decided to unencumber itself with constitutional rules, is a nation on the road to death camps.

If it is given the opportunity, the Democratic Party—without hesitation, guilt, or apology—should pack the Supreme Court to its advantage.

So who is this guy? Frak if I know. Some crank of no real power or importance, quite possibly. But the “New Republic” magazine pays him to trot out his gibberish, and the New Republic is, sadly, not considered far beyond the pale.
