I don't think they need to be added to the Constitution, but then again I'm not a Constitution fanatic that some on the right are. For example, the UK has no consitituion and they seem to do OK. Also, there have been plenty of nations where their constitution has been suspended, some of them allies of ours, or in one case, we supported the suspension of the constitution, supported toppling a democratic government in a nation with a long history of democracy.
So if it makes the hard right feel any better, and helps feed a fantasy where a uber conservative / Libertarian government can take over and jettison social programs, I have no interest in changing the consitution.
