>When the Federal government displays little respect for The Law, if cannot complain when The People display a similar disrespect for The Law. The Federal government agitates for anarchy and will have to accept that anarchy is a two way street.

Or, to put it another way: when the government casts off the constitution, it also casts off all laws pursuant to the constitution (and laws not pursuant are not constitutional, and therefore irrelevant/non-binding), thereby forfeiting all legal protections thereof. (i.e. voiding the law eliminates even the laws which protect you.)

But, even prior to the constitution there was the Declaration of Independence which says it is the right, and duty, to [re-]create a governemtn when the old becomes injurious to individual liberties/rights.
