The proposal is to ignore the Constitution and give congress unlimited power to congress and the executive branch to enact whatever laws/executive orders they like--with no oversight?
Or does the supreme court still have the power to overturn laws that we "respect?" Who decides what rules we "respect"--do we make up a list every ten years?
Additionally, this suggestion is completely infeasible. The Constitution may have been eroded slowly over the years, but if the Government declared tomorrow that we were no longer bound by our founding document, there would most likely be a rebellion or maybe even a military coup.
Every member of the United States military is sworn to "...support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic...", and most of them take that oath very seriously.
