Pretty good site to get some insight into our Constitutional dilemma today. http://www.constitution.org/cmt/stlotl/stlotl.htm

Question might be asked, "If it is ignored when inconvenient and upheld when convenient, and the majority of Americans are ignorant about it and could care "less".... is it just the supreme law of the land IGNORED...and if so...OF WHAT VALUE?

The federal judiciary (originally designed as part of a carefully balanced mechanism in which it shared guardianship of the Constitution with the executive, the two houses of Congress, and the state governments) has gradually taken sole custody unto itself,

proclaiming that its decisions

and not the Constitution

are the supreme law of the land.

What is even more dangerous, the Supreme Court has, during the last two or three decades, become progressively more blatant in disregarding the Constitution and arriving at decisions on the basis of the justices' ideological predilections in regard to "social progress" and "human dignity." These usurpations are compatible neither with the idea of constitutional government nor with the ideal of a government of laws.
