An Anti-Constitutionalist is an individual who rejects the views of the political theories of John Locke and the founding fathers of the American republic, that government can and should be limited in its powers. Anti-Constitutionalists believe in the supremacy of federal power over individual rights and self-governance.
Anti-constitutionalists are persons who believe that basic standards and ideals are to be consistent with progressive values and the rule of law.
The 7 characteristics of many anti-constitutionalists:
1. Life: For all human beings, and a right to choice.
2. Liberty: Freedom of conscience and actions to suppress fascist ideals;[1]
3. Family: Equal rights to marry anyone among at least 56 known genders;[2]
4. Diversity: Out of one, many.[3]
5. Constitution: Outdated and written by white male slaveholders;
6. Collective Responsibility: A duty not a choice;[4]
7. Sovereignty: The universal power, authority, and kinship of the human species.
Many anti-constitutionalists agitate or advocate for restrictions on, or the overturning of the First Amendment - abridgment of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, media, social media, and restrictions on the free exercise of religion.
Rep. Ted Lieu famously said,"I would love to be able to regulate the content of speech. The First Amendment prevents me from doing so."
Eliminating gun rights has long been a priority of anti-constitutionalists.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized"has been virtually dispossed of in the post-Snowden revelation liberal police state.
The Fifth Amendment presumption of innocence and due process clauses have come under increasing attack by politically correct logic and advocates of identity politics.
During the Kavanaugh smear hearings for example, Sen. Kamala Harris, who has a long history of abandoning due process,[5] made no pretense of respecting the constitutional guarantee of innocent til proven guilty.
"We have to have total clarity about what we do, when it comes to everything — a woman’s right to choose, gay marriage … whether it’s about immigration, whether it’s about gun safety, whether it’s about climate ... and if there’s some collateral damage for some others who do not share our view, well, so be it."
