Nor the citizenry. Becomes when it comes right down to it, we really don't care what the Constitution says if it conflicts with how we think things should be run.
Who is we?
I certainly do care about the Constitution being followed, even when it makes things 'troublesome' or inconvenient… heck, especially when it makes things inconvenient, because its entire goal is to preserve Liberty by delineating what the federal government may [legitimately] do. The very few restrictions that it puts on the States are either to curtail obvious injustice (eg flat prohibition on Ex Post Facto law), or to prevent the States from violating the exclusively-delegated powers (eg prohibition on the States making treaties w/ foreign powers).
