The single coherent, snarky point you made was off topic but I'll address it anyway.
Since we as a people murder about one million souls a year, and have been doing so for about 30+ years, I guess that means that gift from our Founding Fathers is a little frayed around the edges by now. Moth-eaten. Positively ratty.
The gift remains. If you are given an auto and wreck it, it is not the fault of the auto. When a man swears to support and defend the Constitution and later does not, it is no more the fault of the Constitution than marriage is at fault when a man takes wedding vows and later cheats on his wife.
My pointing out that many of my fellow Americans have been "legally" murdering about 1 million innocent souls a year since Roe v Wade became the law of the land is "snarky." Why do you say that?

Of course it remains. It's just after decades of USSC decisions like Roe v Wade it's a little tattered and torn.

Your mixed metaphors are giving me a headache.
If you live under a legal system or constitution that, via amendments and legal interpretation, is pushed further and further away from natural and Divine law, I'd say it's time to start trying to put it back on track before God decides to start pushing back. Hard. (cf. Mr. Lewis' "Religious Addendum").
