The US constitution is violated daily, and the main perpetrators are the president and top federal government officials.
That is the view of Richard Mack, a former Arizona Sheriff who is now advocating state sovereignty as the only way to keep constitution-abiding America intact.
In 1994, he made national headlines when he filed a law-suit against the federal government. Since then, he has been encouraging state law enforcement officials to rise up against federal agents.
“When I was a cop I made a huge mistake – I actually read the constitution, and specifically the Bill of Rights. And I saw, on the one hand, what the constitution says and I saw, on the other hand, what the government is actually doing,” he said in an interview to RT.

Great Guy - but sadly men like this are still very much in the minority. The majority of the US population do seem to be asleep when it comes reality - so men like him will have a very difficult and up-hill struggle to even be taken seriously never mind actually affecting change. I wish him luck anyway.
