The federal government follows the Constitution to the letter. Unfortunately, it's the Living Constitution, the Constitution symbolized as a Tree, the Constitution that evolves with the times even though its words never change, the Constitution of penumbras and emanations, that the federal government follows.

When the federal entity goes beyond the Constitution's words to govern by penumbras and emanations, it's time to modify the words to place the government within the constitutional prison that Madison designed for it.

Again, you can’t get what you say you want, no matter what the document says, without oath-keeping officers of government.

That’s why I think the Article Five effort is, at best, a diversion from the primary task at hand.
