Of course, our court system has rigorously followed those principles
The court system operates when it is activated. Ignorance of the Constitution prevails everywhere because the citizens are too lazy to avail themselves of the document which guarantees our freedoms. They have been indoctrinated since grade school that they must follow the dictates of the left wing. Too few people think for themselves. Too few people bother to vote. Too few people will stand up for the Constitution on a daily basis. Too few people dare to challenge the dictates of the usurpers of our liberty. Just take a look at the sarcasm on these threads ...that’s the easy way out.
