“As things currently stand, we do NOT have a functioning Constitution and have not had one for some time. Please show me where I might be mistaken on this.”
What are you, some kind of clown? The Constitution is just fine. IT functions as it was intended. The problem is with those who misinterpret it or intentionally mis-use it.
Oh. So everything is just hunky dorey, huh?
That’s a distinction without a difference.
The document still exists but the people in charge don’t respect it?
Then the document no longer exists as a functional document. Same difference.
