The Constitution, while written in different time includes things that make it as relevant now as it was when it was first penned by Jacob Shallus.Freedom of speech , the right to due process, own a firearm etc is as relevant now as it was then and will remain so for eternity.The entire document is the foundation of this nation which makes it highly relevant and whether the "progressives" like it or not, is the supreme law of the land.This means that any law the government passes or action it takes that is found to violate the constitution must be thrown out or corrected.This is the reason some criminals can get away when their rights are violated by law enforcement , because like it or not every citizen is entitled to rights granted by the Constitution.The founders lived under oppressive government and thus the reason they included the rights etc they did, so that even 234 years(almost) later when faced with a dangerous ideologly and it's followers, including the President, we have the rights they fought for and the ability to endure the assault so that America will survive.Here we have a member of congress from the democratic party saying he does not care about the supreme law of the land and that seems to be the feeling among pretty much all in the party since most voted for the health care bill.
