If one part of the Constitution is ignored, the entire Constitution is effectively a dead letter.

I wouldn't say that. We live in an imperfect world, with especially imperfect governments.

But I do say that the current rejection of the 9th and 10th amendments does turn the constitution on it's head, and fundamentally transforms what was a government of delegated and enumerated powers into a government that rules,and the peasants will take it and like it.
