It would be more precise to say that officials must obey the form of the 
Constitution that the courts believe to exist.  Our federal government 
has done and continues to do many things that contradict what the US 
constitution says, and often the courts (whose members have political 
leanings just like everyone else), permit those violations that are in 
line with their own political notions.

And before anyone jumps in with a snide comment about Bush, I should 
point out that many of these violations consist of programs and policies 
that Europeans in general favor.

Regards,
John
