The mainstream conservative movement has also abandoned any pretense of defending an existing moral order or social traditions, custom, convention, and continuity. It has caved on almost every radical social issue, from abortion to same-sex marriage, and implicitly supports a corporatist globalism that can be as destructive of traditional local customs as Communism.
Fundamentally, the mainstream conservative movement has forgotten that many of the political values it promotes are rooted in a culture it has failed to defend — and, in many cases, helped to erode."

Again, he's either purposefully or ignorantly lumping conservatives in with the establishment. Neither Shapiro or Cruz are establishment.
And the Constitution is more than a mere piece of paper, no matter what is written after.
