Nothing left in our Constitution but verbiage
These were then padded out with a lot of high sounding verbiage. We have more or less dumped the ideology and now that there are no more votes in it and it’s safe, we have dumped the Church and its special place. What’s left in our constitution is the verbiage.
The problem now is that the judiciary are taking it seriously and interpreting its broad provisions in ways never imagined by its framer. Their interpretation may produce a situation were constitutional provisions are repugnant to a majority of the people. It may be that the Judges are often wiser than popular opinion, but not always.
