There's nothing about the exclusionary principle in the Constitution. It lays out rights but doesn't say much about what happens if they are violated.
> The courts will not allow the Fourth Amendment to become inoperative because Congress and the President fail to enforce it.
Again, this is a false choice. Other countries make sure prevailing law is enforced without the exclusionary principle.
And other amendments are enforced without compromising the pursuit of truth in the courtroom. There are no enforcement mechanisms for the first amendment in the Constitution, but it gets enforced.
