The Constitution doesn't matter if there is no enforcement. We have seen wholesale anti-Constitutional behaviors in business, government and politics for a long time with no enforcement, which is why it treated with contempt.
National Archives Places ‘Harmful Language Alert’ on Page Hosting U.S. Constitution.
The Constitution provides for three branches of government, sharing sovereign power. In fact, we have a fourth branch, the sprawling administrative bureaucracies.
But I'd like to think that the system is not so irreparably broken that it cannot be fixed.
But it wasn't enforced. Who gives a shit if we have a Constitution? It's simply ignored. It's just a goddamned piece of paper.
This is why we have the Bill of Rights, and representatives rather than direct democraccy.

Wow. If that is real, a judge that thinks the Constitution does not apply is nothing but a tyrant and needs to be removed.

Thought experiment. If we had to rewrite a constitution from scratch today what would it say? What rights/ liberties / freedoms would be most important? Are any of the issues addressed obsolete in the modern era? Are there new protections that should to be enumerated given the interconnectedness of the modern world?
