I feel like we don't even try to follow the Constitution as the Law of the Land in the United States anymore.
Look at Drug Prohibition for instance (at a federal level). When they tried to do it with Alcohol in the 20's at least they had respect for the rule of law to properly make it a constitutional amendment.
Now we have federal raids in California for marijuana, where the people being raided haven't broken any local state laws.
Depressing.
'But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.' -Lysander Spooner
