Favoring the constitution is an issue for you? Man, nvm. I don't want to open that can of worms.

Yeah. Of course it is when folks only care to defend a few parts of it or one of the amendments and completely neglect the first, fourth, and fourteenth.

Which also does not account for the fact that it’s a document written when the predominant form of government in the world was a monarchy, and was written with the preservation of power by land-owners in mind. Since then the world has embraced democracy and learned quite a bit about what works for more egalitarian societies.

Religious reverence towards a document slave owners wrote to avoid paying taxes is usually a red flag, yes.

Even if you assume good faith, which given the context you'd be naive to, it's not even a particularly good document for enumerating rights either. If you said you were pro the UN charter of human rights that would make sense, but the US constitution?
