"We do not know the actual intent of the Constiution at the ti-"
"Halt!", say the constituent assembly and constitutional court, "We do."
*myriad reactions of surprise - gasping, clutching of breasts (not necessarily one's own), and exclamations of shock.*
The permanent constituent assembly strikes me as another center of power that people will attenpt to stuff or stack like they do with the courts or the congresses of the world today. Though it may be easier to keep control of such a body, and make it harder to capture the whole of state, their power is again limited by the Constitution.
Perhaps the only way to get good government is to make the government so bloated and busied with internal strife that it leaves us alone to do our business, rubber-stamping us in order to buy our adoration and get one over on each other.
"be the supreme law of a nation, supra-parliamentary in nature, and superseded only by natural law;"
One would think that this was the forgone conclusion, and this is why "democracy" fails as there separation of powers is a fallacy. You need a further separation , that of the people court to decide on constitutional issues as the current statutory system is really only for corporation to govern trade between the corporations and the state.
The power of the Peoples Natural Law Court has been usurped and relegated by parliament as inferior to statutory law by the "Parliamentary Pirates" called the "Party System".
