The NYT, and indeed the entire radical left it speaks for has of course been passively hostile to the Constitution for quite some time.

The hostility is now moving out of the closet, and into the open. In a way its kind of refreshing to see some honesty. Not that the entire article is honest - far from it. But at least the hostility towards our system of Govt and the founding principles of the nation is no longer veiled.

Also, the article states : "IN the face of this long history of disobedience, it is hard to take seriously the claim by the Constitution’s defenders that we would be reduced to a Hobbesian state of nature if we asserted our freedom from this ancient text. "

Pretty laughable, considering our society becomes ever more Hobbesian with the passage of time, in direct correlation with the de facto disintegration of Constitutional authority.
