Trying to argue constitutionality is pretty much a joke any more...

That was my first impression as well.

I acknowledge the issue, but to single it out based on constitutionality is singling out a specific tree from an entire forest and ignoring the rest.

Not that I am saying the question is invalid or even wrong. It is not. But it would certainly be interesting in coming up with a solution that harmonizes constitutionality with the US federal government as it exists today.

Actually, to my way of thinking, its the starting point to bring the constitution back into focus and bring the country and government back in line with its founding principles. We have to start somewhere. Why not something front and center and then work backwards from there.
