The Constitution is a mythological document. A document we once referred to as our Constitution defined the three branches of governments and some procedural items, but application of the “Bill of Rights” has been fubar for over 100 years. We’re fast approaching the zenith of that misapplication.

TENTH AMENDMENT: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

Yeah, right…

“Implied powers”, “explicit powers”, “commerce clause”, and other overly-complicated and tortured interpretations notwithstanding, this hasn’t been the case for generations. If you don’t accept my rationale for the 10th amendment, what about Patriot Acts I and II as a violation of the 4th?

As for the Onion article, I think I would have found it funnier if I thought the Constitution had any meaning at all except in our imaginations.
