Better late than never

And the constitution?

I commented on Booman’s post,

Better late than never to join the club of those worried about what too many decades of "win at any cost" politics are doing to American government.

The Supremes were always the worst offenders and became the most constitutionally disobedient branch, and a spectacularly disobedient branch, with the numberous [sic] and actually rather shockingly revolutionary decisions of the Warren and succeeding liberal courts, continuing to our own day.

As for presidents, the Democrats have probably been the biggest offenders, over the long haul, too.

Nobody ever topped Wilson and FDR for stomping the constitution during wartime, and nobody ever topped Truman either in autocratic foreign policy or at home.

Sure, the Republicans had been constitutional fakers throughout the Lochner Era.

But the Democrats turned it around in 1937 and have been running with the ball, ever since.
