That would be a problem for the present US government no matter what. The people who have power and money have decided what they want done, and they'll say or do whatever it takes to make it happen.Have you seen portions of the leaked Roe v. Wade draft? It's completely unhinged. Although he didn't say it directly, Clarence Thomas' answer to public outcry against the leaked draft was basically "we are the elite and we rule the way we want; you peasants must accept what we do because those are the rules". It's not a problem with the Constitution---it doesn't matter what the facts say or what legal scholarship says, they'll rule however they like and make up any justification for it.

This is the problem with the way the American revolution happened. In France their revolution involved killing their aristocracy and making sure that a new didn't taken it's place. That failed but they eventually got around to making it right. In the US our revolution was about replacing a Foreign Aristocracy with a local one. The founding fathers were aristocrats and the system they devised was put in place specifically to mantain the power of that aristocratic class.

There is a reason that almost none of the Democracies that came about after the American revolution are based on our system. Primarily that it's shit. It's been held together with spit and duct tape for a couple of hundred years now but it's going to collapse, and sooner rather rather than later.
