And so does everything else in the constitution. The constitution is not a list of things the people can do. It’s a list of things the government can’t do.
I do not expect SCOTUS to get this right.

This is almost completely right, but I think it should include that the constitution codifies what the government cannot do for man to preserve his God given rights that were declare in the Declaration of Independence.
This day and age, we often put all our faith and efforts in preserving the constitution, but the reality is, and what the founding father's intended (most of them), was when the constitution no longer preserved our declared rights it was to be replaced with a more perfect version.
In other words the, the Declaration is sacred, the constitution and the construct it creates is imperfect. Jefferson believed this full heartedly.
