No. Courts have effectively gutted the 4th and 5th amendments, and anyone who tries to bring up the tenth is labeled a kook and marginalized.

The 2010 election is a hopeful sign. We’ll know more in 2013.

We'd like to think that it does. Our second President violated the Constitution with the Alien and Sedition Acts, appointed a like minded Chief Justice that worked to change the Constitutions meaning immediately as well as numerous other 11th hour appointments (Marbury, for example) after his loss to Jefferson. The impulse to over-reach is the nature of the species and our founders did what they could to guard against the inevitable seduction of socialism.
We are in the final stages of a marxist takeover, IMHO. We'll see.

It will mean more when Congress declares a formal state of war before bombing other countries.

The short answer is.... No. The federal government has had a history of trampling upon it whenever it suited them. To restore its relevance blood would have to be shed I think. At least thats what history has taught us.

I’ll bet that essay is barely over 500 words, but Thomas Sowell said more about the reasons for America’s founding, and the reasons for defending our founding principles, than nearly anything else I’ve read.
He also takes a huge sword of truth to the sheep’s clothing of liberalism. Just brilliant....as always.

This is our battle, our constitution MEANS something. The libs are out to destroy it. It’s a war on our country, and we’re battling it daily. We will win. My rights don’t trump the feds. We will win this battle! Us patriots outnumber the takers. We might have a setback or two here and there, but, we will prevail. I have no doubt freedom will win!
To: Kaslin
Go to the National Archives in Wash DC. All day, every day, you will find a long line of Americans wanting to see with their own eyes the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. They don’t want to see a copy you can find at any tourist shop around the city. They want to see the real deal.

It does to us but it don’t mean shit to hose in power. Unless it suits their purpose. If we,as a whole, acted in a manner to make those in power respect us,much less fear us, they would not be doing half the crap they are doing and getting away with it.

Tell me about it. Isn’t it interesting we are seeing so many articles about kids not knowing anything about the USC? We have people like nancy pelosi saying things like “are you kidding?” when asked if the congress can just whatever it wants.
To today’s educators, kids and their liberal overlords, the entirety of the USC is the Commerce Clause, the Supramcy Clause and the preamble part that says “promote the general welfare.” The rest, including and especially the BOR, is just toilet paper to them.

If many of those who swear or swore an oath to uphold the United States Constitution were not mendacious throwback socialists,America would always be a virtuous,prosperous and secure sanctuary of liberty.
