The Constitution IS Our Sacred Text

If you ask me, the Constitution IS our scared text, and should be read and treated as such. When I went through the Naturalization process in order to become an American citizen, I probably learned more about the "supreme law of the land" (the Constitution) than most Americans do in school. At least new legal immigrants understand what makes America great.

From the Washington Post:

For more than 200 years, Americans have revered the Constitution as the law of the land, but the GOP and tea party heralding of the document in recent months - and the planned recitation on the House floor Thursday - have caused some Democrats to worry that the charter is being misconstrued as the immutable word of God.

"They are reading it like a sacred text," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the outgoing chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, civil rights and civil liberties, who has studied and memorized the Constitution with talmudic intensity.
