Sometimes these abuses of our freedoms constitute criminal acts. In rare cases these actions go beyond the pale and become constitutional issues, where it becomes a constitutional crisis. A undermining of the fundamentals of US democracy. The founding fathers had emplaced certain safeguards against the possibility of such anti-constitutional actions, however, when people are intent on breaking the constitution then they'll do whatever they can to remove whatever impediments are opposing their un-American goal.
Yes, un-American!
I mean, how else people who would abolish the United States Constitution be thought of and referred to but as un-American?
As per the US Constitution, as found on uscode.house.gov,
Maybe un-American is a bit too mild?CHAPTER 115—TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES

Let us call them by what these people really are... TRAITORS!
To harsh? But that's exactly what those who work to deconstruct democracy are, traitors to democracy, traitors to the United States.
We can once more refer to a common source to define the term, traitor.
As per Merriam-Webster Dictionary a traitor is defined as,
Perhaps the Oxford Dictionary defines traitor differently,1: one who betrays another's trust or is false to an obligation or duty
2: one who commits treason
Hmm...Let's try Free Dictionary, maybe they have a different definition of traitor,A person who betrays someone or something, such as a friend, cause, or principle.
Nope, still the same definition. Interestingly, traitor is directly tied to treason in one of the definitions. Which makes sense.*One who betrays one's country, a cause, or a trust, especially one who commits treason.
*a person who is guilty of treason or treachery, in betraying friends, country, a cause or trust, etc
*1. a person who betrays another, a cause, or any trust.
*2. a person who commits treason by betraying his or her country.
The United States Constitution is pretty straight forward in spelling out how things should be run if this nation is to remain a republic. Furthermore, people in various jobs have to take a oath to protect the very constitution others are trying to tear down. This oath is not time limited, it doesn't have special circumstances where the duty can be set aside, in fact, it's a life long devotion against those who would becomes enemies of the US constitution.
And yes, people are going to interpret the words in the US Constitution to fit and support their own understanding of what the constitution means and how it should be applied and enforced. But that doesn't make it right or lawful. No person can say they are abiding by the US Constitution then behave and act in contravening manner toward this most very important document.
Anyway, think about it.
