Hey, “Big Government Liberals!” You can’t do that! It’s not What The Founders Intended!™️
Stick to “original intent!”

Oh yeah? Well guess what, Trumpers! The thing YOU’RE doing is unconstitutional, too!
We’re post-constitutional now.
They are saying that the woke left have created a post constitutional world and they need to purge their influence to restore the purity of the original vision of the founding fathers.
I don’t think so. For instance, you won’t find the impoundment authority he’s touting anywhere in the document. Certainly not in the post-Civil War amendments. And it’s been explicitly rejected as counter-textual by the Supreme Court. Yet that’s squarely in their sights.
No, it’s just that you made it sound like they only wanted to get rid of the post-Civil War amendments, and that doesn’t track. They’re proposing a frontal assault on the unamended, original document, not any kind of restoration.
I didn't make you misunderstand my point.
They are saying they are restoring the original. Your opinion may be that they are actually doing something else. But they are saying that.
