The constitution is increasingly becoming irrelevant, as laws which are passed actually go around it, and, in some cases, sections of the constitution are deemed
unconstitutional. Here is an article from my organization explaining why we no longer have Fourth Amendment Rights:

FBI Raid Opens Constitutional RiftWASHINGTON — The May 20 FBI raid on the offices of Congressman William Jefferson, a Louisiana Democrat, has escalated into both a constitutional crisis and a rift between the state authority and those bodies established by the Constitution.
Jefferson was the target of an eight-month Department of Justice probe into bribery allegations and corruption.
It is alleged that he took hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to promote business ventures in Nigeria, Cameroon and Ghana.
According to FBI statements, when they searched Jefferson’s home last August, they found $90,000 stored in a freezer — this was, according to the FBI, 90 percent of the $100,000 Jefferson allegedly took in bribes.
However, the raid on Jefferson’s home, as opposed to the raid on his Congressional office, was conducted according to the rules and statutes set down in law.
According to Article I, Section 6 of the U.S. Constitution, members of Congress, while in session, are protected from arrest and interrogation by authorities operating under the direction of the executive branch — the Chief Executive (President) or one of its departments.
