David,
"Starting from the day Roosevelt decided the Constitution was merely an obstacle to progress whose provision could be winked at if the ends were just."
With all due respect, there were plenty of Presidential decisions prior to Roosevelt that "winked" at the Constitution, and not simply because they thought that their ends were "just"--they winked if they thought that their ends would help their friends or hurt their enemies. To suppose that somehow the Constitution has been less followed in this century than in the previous one is idealizing the past, I'm afraid.
