The big thing to remember in this is that our Rights are given to us by our creator and not the government. The Constitution enumerated some of the rights, but was not exhaustive, as a means of reminder for we the people to not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of by our governments.

I think the Constitution is just fine the way it is worded and what it contains. This isn't the problem.

If people respect the ideals and values that the document exists to represent, it will be followed, even if wording is a bit poor. If they do not, it matters not how the document is worded or what it contains. They will twist meanings, lie, and outright ignore it.

Laws are only Just and effective if the majority of people agree with them and honor them, and only a small minority are in violation of them. If this balance tips, the system becomes unstable and usually results in a tyranny of authoritarianism.

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.

Justice has gotten more and more selective and Potemkin.

Courts? What courts. They are part of the Big Scam.

I was going to buy guns and hunker down for the shit show. But the more I realize what's going on, the more I think the older and unskilled warriors wont be needed.
Looking at the Fat couch potato commies occupying the Capital disguised as US Army soldiers, and looking at the mean lean fighting machines ex military that is fed up with the broken system.

The more I think about that Jewish Transwoman unloading Schmuck Schlonger yesterday, the more I agree. It will be quick and silent in the middle of the night, a visit in the middle of the night for selective strikes. They don't need me stepping on the Dog's squeaky toy fucking shit up.

Exactly. The Ghost of George Washington isn't going to materialize and give Liz Cheney 20 whacks with a hickory cane.

The problem is the lack of knowledge of the constitution and the lack of the will of the people to be done in accordance with the constitution. People became way to comfortable letting governments dictate to them how things were going to be without the smack across the face by their managers (us) telling them to get the F back in their lane.

We have rights in there, but those rights are infringed upon a lot. First and Second amendments are heavily infringed. What's "Freedom of speech" these days? You get silenced, cancelled and all sorts of shit. 2nd amendment don't even get me started in CA, can't concealed carry, can't open carry, basically can't fucking carry.

Those rights sound more like privileges most of the time.

There's some other cases that are coming up, the EPA one was probably more important and Roe v. Wade

These cases are about how much the Legislature can pawn off on Administrative Departments, allowing them to make rules under the rubric of the Executive.

If SCOTUS tightens the reigns on that, it is the best thing ever to happen to control the Administrative/Deep State.

The Constitution provides for three branches of government, sharing sovereign power. In fact, we have a fourth branch, the sprawling administrative bureaucracies.

So what can we do short of running for congress ourselves? Do we start a grassroots movement? Start a PAC? Form a political party?

And how would we unwind some of these federally created offices? "Abolish the IRS" is a good slogan for a t-shirt but in reality l, you would need a ten year plan to wind down / reduce the size of government to get it back to where the founders intended it to be.

Absent that you scrap the whole system and start over...

But I'd like to think that the system is not so irreparably broken that it cannot be fixed.

I honestly think part of it is many (myself included) are too busy with day to day life to do anything beyond venting on an anonymous internet forum.

I don't have the resources, time or connections to mount a political campaign although I have considered it from time to time.
