The Constitution - to follow or not to follow, that is the burning question!

Yes, as my dad used to say, 'Who is watching the watchdogs?' Too many times in recent memory we have seen the ones in charge (i.e. the government) overstep their authority and land on someone's rights and viciously tear them to shreds. Case in point, when Elian Gonzalez was forcibly removed from his aunt and uncle's house to be sent back to Cuba. The law states that if a person from another country comes in by water, and touches American soil, then that person has all the rights of an American - they can not be expatriated to the country they came from, unless they go through due process! And another, when you are required to make restitution for something, such as a fine, or child support, and yet no one shows legal paperwork through the courts (which is required) and yet, you still have to pay the penalty or support, even though you never had your day in court! We are to follow the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, and not deviate from its directives. So, how can we just allow the ones in a position of power to override the document, and breach its words? When the wolves are in charge, they will do everything in order to fulfill their lusts against the sheep in their charge! Even circumventing the law, and doing everything illegal!
