Well, I didn't say that if it is a violation, we're safe and there's nothing to worry; I was honestly just asking for confirmation.

I've long been skeptical of the US constitution and the supposed checks and balances, and with this wildly partisan supreme court you indeed can't hope that the law will keep the government in check.

I agree with most of what you said, except that a better constitution would be an (almost) magical defense against tyranny, in my opinion.
