Unrecognizable shapes, progressivism as incompatible with the United States Constitution

For the pragmatist, the Constitution and its express limits on democratic energy must be negated lest necessary and positive change be wrongly arrested….this conception of government as necessary to the protection of man’s natural rights…is simply incompatible with progressivism.

The denatured person seen by progressivism requires an unlimited government to deploy the operations and powers necessary to unlock social progress.

Sound familiar ?
