Are we still pretending the constitution matters?

In this case it might actually matter because it straight up defend billionaires property here. Remember how in "Democracy for the Few" Parenti agrumented that US system do appear to be completely paralysed in case of proposals working for the people, but works like well oiled machine when it comes for the ruling class interest.

But in that case, the Constitution is irrelevant. It would be impossible even if there wasn't a 5th amendment.

All that matters is who is in charge of the heights of political power, the law is a fiction they use to legitimize their authority.
