Precisely.. What's the point of writing more laws when the stinking DC lawyers don't even make an effort to follow the ones already there...? I mean, what are the sheep going to say, "Yeah well, we're really going to make them obey the law THIS time.." (spit)
The federal entity honors the Living Constitution to the letter.
What is the difference between them?
The Living Constitution is what happened to the Constitution of the Framers after 200+ years of case law, some of it good and much of it bad. This case law empretzeled the Constitution of the Framers until it became the Living Constitution. The Living Constitution is a document whose meaning changes over time even though the actual wording never does. Earl Warren, and three current justices on the Supreme Court, can tell you all about the Living Constitution, by which they rule.
Amendments generated by an Article V Convention can create structural changes that constrain the power of those forces that push the Constitution into a strange realm of "emanations and perturbations."
