Projection? It's the "progressives" that don't believe in the Constitution, and in fact it was Woodrow Wilson, "the father of American progressivism" that coined the phrase, "living document" for the Constitution.
The Constitution is a contract between the States (the Parties to the Contract) which formed the Federal Government (the product of the Contract). It is not a "living document." A Contract cannot be changed by whim of interpretation. Would you like your employment contract to be claimed to be "a living document" by your employer, changeable at his discretion? I doubt it.
What are you insinuating? That we have to quote news articles which only appeal to the severe partisans here? America has a ton of very real problems, and aligning oneself with either party at this point is pretty futile, so solving our ills will take more than posting stuff such as the OP felt was breaking news, I'm thinking of a civil kind of discourse which respects the notion of differing opinions. Yeah I do get tired of seeing the kind of crap which serves as a fuse for partisan squabbling.
They're not many moderates in this discussion. We serve the purpose of confusing the partisans.
I love it when the big city liberals start in with this. Do they really not realize that rural and urban MUST coexist? From farmers to truckers to oil and gas lines and water supply, people like Joy would be in huge trouble without the rural. Same thing goes in the opposite direction. WTF is the matter with people? (Don't answer. Completely rhetorical. Too many people are stupid - whether rural or urban.)
Great point, although there're some very fine Democrats and Republicans, there're far too many stupid hard liners on both sides.
As far left as I am, I'm alway willing to compromise as much as it takes to move our country forward. For issues that can't be agreed on, let the majority decide. But if you notice, many of the Teabaggers and Trump supporters are in no mood for compromise. They believe compromise is surrendering their 'principles' to the 'enemy within' and they're the ones who are constantly bringing up the subject and predicting a civil war...

There are a lot that are like that, yes. For the majority of conservatives right now (and this is only my opinion) it's not so much that they think they're surrendering their principles as they are turned off by what the DNC has been choosing to focus their time and energy on. If the DNC would focus on economic issues and leave aside the social issues, I don't think there would be so much animus. This holds true for the Republicans with LGBT, abortion, etc., but they seem to be more split as a party, with some differing views coming out (pun intended). My big gripe with the Republican party is that they say one thing, then do the opposite - most notably the continual increases in military spending when we need to be cutting down our debt.
Probably the biggest illustration of this point is CNN host Erin Burnett. For years, she was a pleasant non-partisan host on CNBC, delivering business news. CNN opened up their vault to her a couple of years ago, now she's a venomous anti-Trump hater.
Think about what changed?
Oh, yes, we got a woman abusing, bankrupt, lying bully in the white house.
Yet you act as if you didn't notice at all. But it is her job to notice.

What will you compromise on?
Immigration?
Guns?
Taxes?

It's her job to be bi-partisan. That's what journalists are supposed to do! If all you see if one side, then she's not doing her job.
