[T]he Constitution is archaic and boring and lots of it no longer applies anymore. [More]Then it's the law of the jungle?
Let us know if it's the position of the political left that there are no longer any constraints.
OK?

It is not these misquotes that are removing the constitution from the land it is the courts
Two decisions in the last week One in the Supreme Court re: Kentucky and the other Indiana state supreme court completely doing away with the 4th amendment.
YOU SHOULD NO LONGER HAVE ANY EXPECTATION OF A SEARCH WARRANT
YOU MAY NOT QUESTION POLICE
Police may (and certainly now will) enter your house without a search warrant and kill you if you object
We have become the USSSa - United Soviet Socialist States of america.
We have been sold, sold out and we are being delivered.

Markie Marxist sez: "My gay commie compadres find the US Constitution to be un peu demodée. That works for us! The darn thing just gets in the way of totalitarianism anyway!"
Believe he was referring to the 3/5th compromise. You know, the language that condoned slavery.
Ah, so THAT's why he wrote "lots of it"...!
It's not the courts or the politicians that are destroying the Constitution. The founders knew that men, given power, would become Tyrannical. That is why they left the government in the hands of the the people. They just never figured we people would be so damn lazy.
As long as there is beer in the fridge, sports and other mind-numbing trash on the television and gas is under $20 a barrel, we the people just don't care enough to do anything.

The 3/5 rule was intended as a compromise in order to limit the power of the slave-holding states. The south wanted it both ways - to count blacks as less than human for purposes of slavery, but to count them 1-for-1 with whites for purposes of Congressional representation and apportionment.
As odious as the 3/5 rule is to our modern sensibilities, it was a great compromise in its day, limited the power of the slave-holding states, and hastened the start of the Civil War - ending slavery permanently.
That's fine. I have already personally signed (unlike previous constitutions) onto a better deal anyway: The Covenant of Unanimous Consent
