Was THIS, the conference you were talking about? I can't think of a better reason to keep you "progressives" out of power. An open call to throw out our constitution.

Yale's Brave New Constitution
littlegreenfootballs.com
Power Line reports on a Yale Law School conference that plans to produce a “progressive vision of what the Constitution should be” ... and then collaborate on how to use their influence and judicial power to achieve it.

From the conference web site:

It is time for progressives to set a constitutional agenda for the 21st Century. In 1987-88, the Reagan Justice Department produced a white paper known as “The Constitution in 2000” which, by taking a long view rather than focusing on the immediate issues of the day, was immensely successful in influencing the Constitution under which we now live. If progressives are to rehabilitate that Constitution, they must now, more than ever, articulate constitutional ideals capable of inspiring the next generation. The goal is to set forth a positive constitutional vision for tomorrow, rather than merely to respond to the crises of today. Accordingly the Yale chapter of the American Constitution Society, the Yale Law School, Yale’s Arthur Liman Public Interest Program, the American Constitution Society, the Open Society Institute and the Center for American Progress invite you to a conference on “The Constitution in 2020.”

The “Open Society Institute” is, of course, George Soros’s tool for promoting his transnational agenda.
