Constitution? Never heard of it.

A guy waiting to be screened by airport security noticed a woman in Muslim garb--with face completely covered--breeze through the line without any screening at all. Amazed, he commented to one of the screeners, "If I was wearing this scarf over my face, I wonder what would happen?"

They detained him for an hour and tried to get him to apologize for making a racist remark.

Admittedly, this happened in Great Britistan, where Muslims practically run the place. But bureaucrats are the same all over the world, and our own TSA has done worse.

Americans used to have one thing--unique in all the world-- to protect us from government abuses: the Constitution. Unfortunately, the Obama administration (with the help of their Democratic supermajority, when they controlled both houses of congress for two years after Barky's election) has repeatedly violated the provisions of that document, with no penalty whatsoever.

Thus for all practical purposes, the Constitution no longer has any power to limit government.

In fairness, Barky and the Dems have been helped in this by generations of leftist judges--including many on the Supreme Court--who voted to let earlier Dem presidents and congresswhores do whatever it was they wanted at the moment--almost always something that would get them votes.

It'd sure be nice if we could impeach, imprison and/or execute pols and judges who willfully violate the Constitution. Sadly, it doesn't look as though we'll ever do that. Which likely means that the government will continue to get bigger and fatter and more corrupt, and more dictatorial.

But hey, what difference does it make?
