That would have more credibility if, when Dick Cheney said that the U.S. Constitution was just a piece of paper, that our theoritical system of checks and balances had actually worked.
We theoritically had a piece of paper that was superior to anything that the FDIC has ever published: the U.S. Constitution.
In reality, we have openly admitted war criminals walking around free, rich, and happy.
Theoritically, we have a piece of paper that guarantees freedom of speech. In reality, we have a billionaire named Bloomberg who can have his police assault peaceful Occupy Wall Street protestors to shut down their ability to speak against the banksters and the politicians that support them. Bloomberg is not alone. There has been a coordinated effort in many cities to violently suppress those who would speak out against the banksters.
There are other Constitutional provisions which are also not stopping the banksters or the politicians who have bailed them out and ready to respond favorably to them.
For whatever reason, the two documents that you refer to seem to give you some comfort.
