"The Constitution is not a suicide pact."

Correct. It's not.

But it is also not dispensable --- else we will have lost the liberties our founders, and generations thereafter, fought to give us.

You cannot rely upon the idea that 'good men', 'honest men', 'wise men' will ALWAYS lead us. Without vigorous checks and balances, freedom is soon lost. Power always corrupts, and bureaucracies and governments and individuals always want MORE.
