Now do civil asset forfeiture or forceful COVID jabs..
The US Constitution is largely a dead letter. Held on to by a people who largely don't understand it, the declaration, or the values either document espoused.

It's not a dead letter. The people who don't understand it hate it. The people who do understand it cherish it. It's one of a kind, created by brilliant men, and has saved more people from poverty and tyranny than anything else in history.

It is a dead letter..
While you may not agree with, like or understand the theological point of view, the following article does a good job laying out the difference in the constitution now vs the constitution of today and many differences therein.. the article argues from a civil rights late 60's, but I'd argue it was earlier, from the time of FDR. https://g3min.org/whats-the-truth-about-martin-luther-king-jr/
And ultimately, the "cherishing it" is to fundamentally not understand it, in the same way that those who "hate it" do. It wreaks of not understanding or knowing the declaration of independence, which is far more important than the constitution itself. One could argue the federalist papers are perhaps a close second.
