A Constitution not followed is worse than no Constitution at all because this state of affairs breeds contempt for the government in the intelligent, and a sentimental belief in the phony protections it was supposed to have in the weak minded. As such the Constitution now provides a fig leaf for the naked aggression of the socialist statist agenda.
Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched.
-- Thomas Jefferson
Well said.
