As one who is not progressive in thought I must agree with you about Naplitano. He seems to know much more about the Constitution of the United States than any of the progressives who want change it so much.
Thanks for the link from which I managed to find and read many of his things that make so much sense to non-progs.
Clearly the Constitution is classist if its creators really believed that poor people should have only those property rights government deigns to allow them.
Of course, poor people were excluded from its creation and ratification, so what else do you expect.
Is that where we are going next? Poor people didn't write the Constitution so we should throw it away and show those evil rich folks and let the occupy loons write the new one? Somehow I think many would agree with that. Country is going into the crapper pretty fast now.

Don't throw it away, just acknowledge its classist origins and applications. And give poor people back their property rights while we're at it. FWIW, I am not one of those who believes that the Framers intended property rights to be subject to government whim, i.e. I believe the Constitution has been wrongly interpreted and that there is at least hope for a proper reinterpretation.
One could ask: Is the Constitution morally legitimate?

Is the document any more morally illegitimate than what progressives want us to believe? As far as I am concerned progressives want to destroy the Constitution and the nation it created. What do you believe about that?

I believe you are correct, but I think we can do better, don't you?
