I think you'll find the constitution becomes so much nice paper whenever this country(USA) feels threatened, or is at war. And that goes for all governments too.

It will be pushed under the rug, and if it ever sees the light of day, then all those constitutional requirements will be massaged, and argued, until some scapegoat gets hung for it, and then propiety gets restored and it's "Miller Time".

I mean seriously, how many laws are determined to be unconstitutioal after they have been enacted, fought in court, and ruled so? That is due process and just how it works.
