"You are way over the line on that one."

Oh I don't think so, Drug Laws, IRS, emanate domain, hate laws, gun laws, etc, etc, etc. I'd say our Constitution is dead as means of constraining government power and ensuring individual liberty, the Patriot Act was the final nail in the coffin. With the Patriot act government no longer needs to even pretend to be obeying the Constitutional limits on search and seizure.

Drug Laws: Constitutional and hopefully will remain in force even though the ACLU and Soros spends millions to legalize drugs

IRS: Constitutional but hugely regressive. Can be reformed with conservatives in power

emanate domain: Eminent domain - I agree that government is sometimes too aggressive in going after land for the "common good" but not always

hate laws: Horrible and hopefully will not stand in the long run

gun laws: We need some controls on those. Traitorous citizens should not be allowed to buy guns and provide Al qaueda or the KLA or the IRA.

"I'd say our Constitution is dead as means of constraining government power and ensuring individual liberty, the Patriot Act was the final nail in the coffin."

I'd say you are too extreme and too fatalistic.
