Constitutions are only as good as the people who follow them.
No self respecting oligarchy ever allowed a constitution to stand in their way.
It was the guys who got carried off to the detention center who believed that a constitutional rule was being broken. That in some way it was like a crucifix being held up before the vampire. The law of the land is the badge and the gun. It's like Sheriff Buford Pusser being asked if he had a warrant. In which he replied "yes, it's right here in my boot." then he kicked the door in and started breaking heads. When you come up on their radar, and they need to get your attention. They do it, and no piece of parchment is going to stand in their way.
