Do you think the US Constitution is important?
Or is it more important to be loyal to your party?

The US Constitution is important, as it indicates the intentions of the founders and provides a framework on which to expand and constantly reinvent this country.
Like the Bible, it's a document. Words written by wise people to impart information. It's not the infallible, immutable word of God and it was never intended to be.
It's the road map for the birth of a nation. It's alive, breathing, interpretable, negotiable.
The one thing the writers of the US Constitution NEVER did, and what hasn't been done without notable failed exceptions, is introduce amendments designed restrict the personal freedoms or individuals or groups. Our country and its text have always remained open in the spirit of freedom and the exercise of freedom without sane restriction.
The US Constitution is not a rulebook. It's a road map.
