The Constitution actually is in fact a suicide pact despite many learned judges opinions to the contrary says this post at the blog Kakistocracy.
"Of course the Supreme Court", says Kakistocracy's Porter, "has always been our most visible petri-dish for observing this repetitive behavioral phenomenon. The extreme right-wing of that eminent tribunal routinely takes the extreme position of following the country’s founding charter, whether it leads to Disney or Camden. In contrast, their opposing faction simply locks the wheel left and produces sententious pap whenever they can muster five votes. So if I only care about the destination and you only care about a check sheet, where do you think we’re going to go?"
American conservatives focus on form, style, and symbolic piety toward the Sacred Paper, while the left focuses on moving the ball ahead, and guess who wins? So, yeah, conservatism is a suicide pact.
