None of that says it is scripture. None. I know you want it to say it, but that doesn’t change the meaning.

If you are going to quibble about words, I don't think I claimed Beck said it was "scripture". Only that it was inspired, written by the finger of God. But Ezra Taft Benson said this of the constitution:

“its words are akin to scripture, for God has placed His stamp of approval upon it.”

Now if you argue that "akin" and "on par" are not the same, I am afraid you are too closed-minded to discuss these things with. Mormons leaders have also said:

In August 1833 the Lord stated that He endorsed the United States Constitution, and that “as pertaining to law of man, whatsoever is more or less than this, cometh of evil.”

In December 1833, the Lord revealed that He raised up the Founding Fathers of this Nation, established the United States Constitution, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.4
