RE: Veterans for Liberty? Not as Much as They Say.
So, it's not unconstitutional because congress decided to surrender their constitutional responsibilities without amending the constitution.
Brilliant.
No real answer for the moral, rational, or constitutional argument besides appeal to status quo and false authority. The Constitutional experiment was to restrain political power, and it has been an utter failure. And people like you are ready to either wear jackboots or lick them in your haste to support their usurpation.
The constitutional experiment has not failed. Your complete lack of understanding of this basic principle is your downfall.
Are their issues ? Yes. But they are not unsolvable.
Not unsolveable? The Constitution was written to restrain government, but government has given itself exceptions to every restraint. We have no power to reimpose those restraints.
We have the highest incarceration rate in the world, global military conflicts without any declaration of war, confiscatory taxation, micromanagement regulation, licenses and permits mandated for everything that isn't outright illegal, and a byzantine legal code that makes anyone a "felon" if anyone cares to investigate enough. That is a failed system.
Even with a written Constitution and an explicit bill of rights that reinforces the idea of limited government to explicitly-granted authority in the 9th and 10th amendments, the leviathan state grew like a cancer.
That is failure.
As Lysander Spooner said 150 years ago, "But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist." No one has demonstrated practically that he was in error sincce then.
