New talking points have gone out, and left-wing journalists and pundits have agreed that claiming the nation is in some sort of “constitutional crisis” is the soundest strategy to aid their beloved Democrats in their time of need. You could be forgiven if you believed members of the corporate press are just now discovering the Constitution, considering that they display profound ignorance of the nation’s founding documents at any available opportunity. But the shift in language from “Republicans are Hitler” to “save the founders’ legacy” is likely more malicious than it is mindless.

People like the Constitution and the natural rights it safeguards. Journalists understand this, and they are likely hoping their audiences forget the press has led the charge to destroy constitutionality, namely the First and Second amendments, for decades. Unfortunately for the media, the “crisis” that keeps them up at night, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and its mission to rid the federal government of waste, fraud, and abuse, is also quite popular with the public.
