I believe the US Constitution was suspended by emergency powers granted to the executive branch to conduct war, and has subsequently been eroded by the Patriot Act and NDAA.
As such, it falls into the category of strongly suggested, not rigid boundaries, and the federal government pretty much does what it wants to anyway.
The federal bureaucracy has taken on a life of it's own, and is out of control. Jimmy Carter was the last POTUS to attempt to reign in the bureaucracy and we see how well he fared.
Ron Paul is our last best hope to return our government to a Constitutional Republic. It's already too late, but we may be able to blunt the force of the backlash when the rest of the world jettison's the dollar as the world's reserve currency.
