If a party gets enough seats, they could do anything they want, including effectively nullifying one of the first 10 amendments.

As for the first ten amendments, how many are respected and enforced today?

Most of the first, fourth, fifth, ninth and tenth amendments are in various stages of decay or practical nonexistence.

The ones that are at least somewhat in force, have champions outside the consolidated government to protect them.

Until recently, the press was ready to pounce on any pol who threatened their freedom.

The second amendment is mostly in force only because of gun rights groups.

The sixth to eighth are protected by lawyer groups.

Which of the above are actively secured and protected by congress, by the people sworn to protect the constitution?

Last week, it was stated that Obamacare encroaches on privacy in the home inferred by the 3rd amendment, as it declares that the federal government now has the right to demand inspection of private homes at any time to verify Obamacare health regulations.

Quartering of soldiers during peacetime = agents of the federal government, according to the Supreme Court in past rulings.
