Give Up On The Constitution? Fine.

CBS news ran a segment featuring a typical, statist law professor from a typical, statist university proposing that we do away with the Constitution because it is an unnecessary hindrance on America's modern needs (e.g., gun control and other encroachments that he and his ilk savor).  So even though the Constitution already is effectively dead and 90% of what the federal government does is unauthorized, petty tyrants such as this think the document still has a chokehold on government's ability to do wondrous things to fashion our brave new world.

I'll see his wager and raise it.  If the Constitution is outmoded, then the Union is too, right?  Given that the Constitution was a treaty among the states, the shredding of that treaty means that the states recover their full sovereignty, right?  Somehow I doubt this "professor" would accept these conclusions; surely he regards the Union as sacrosanct and secession as treason, so he is a purveyor of doublethink, as is anyone who believes that rules apply only to the governed but not to the government.  In truth, nullification and secession are more necessary than ever to resist this insanity.
