Our Government has been "restricting" our Constitution since the Civil War- Emergency Rule.
One needs to take a closer look at the historical record.
The Founding Fathers' U.S. Constitution ended after the Civil War and was replaced by our current federal government- operating under the rule of National Emergency - thus the executive order.
See and read Senator Frank Church's report: See 93d Congress 1 ,1st Sessio7i j ,SENATE Report No. 93-54:
" A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule. For over 100 years, freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the Constitution have, in varying degrees, been abridged by laws brought into force by states of national emergency. The problem of how a constitutional democracy reacts to great crises, however, far antedates the Great Depression. In the United States, actions taken by the Government in times of great crises have — from, at least, the Civil War — in important ways shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of national emergency"Here is an example of the power of declaring a National Emergency and the Executive order. The Democrats can thank FDR for giving the President the power.
"Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens." Are any of these found in the U.S. Constitution?
Since the Civil War our current federal government- has been operating under the rule of National Emergency - thus the executive order. President Lincoln as military commander issues Executive order number 1.
In Re “phone bombing,” assuming you probably don’t engage in listening to radio hosts. Some radio hosts (principly in my experience Mark Levin who has a large radio audience) calls on listeners to call in to their Congress people to support/oppose specific legislation. He has also encouraged his audience to support worthy candidates and causes. Many, if not most, of his efforts have been successful. Perhaps someone like Sen Johnson and the Doctors Caucus could be helpful in identifying meaningful opportunities on a timely basis, were we as a community able to promptly mobilize and respond. An avenue to consider.

Bannon’s WarRoom does the same to great effect. My friends and I burn down the phone lines and write numerous letters (post cards).
