Gerson Rescues Constitution From Tea Party | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The Tea Party is not constitutionalist, it is ant-federalist - including not only the founders but also the drafters and ratifiers of the Civil War and Progressive Amendments - which give the government much of the power that the Tea Party does not like (equal protection enforced from Washington) and the expansion inherent in a bicameral legislature where both houses are accountable to the electorate - where the only constitutional limitation is, in fact, majority rule rather than the rule of property.  Of course, it is not accident that very rich men - especially David and Charles Koch, fund the Tea Party.  Using the founding fathers to baptize their ideology is a Big Lie (very fascist) and pure propoganda.  As Lincoln said, however, you can't fool all of the people some of the time (although they can fool all the Tea Party all of the time).
