CONSTITUTIONAL FLAWS

Is the Constitution flawed?  I don't believe so, but have you ever noticed there is no penalty within its text for not following it?

For instance, at the time of this writing, the President (executive branch) seems to be doing whatever he wants regardless of any balance of powers enumerated in the Constitution or Bill of Rights.

The Judicial Branch of our government is supposed to be a watchdog over the Constitution and control the power of the other branches of government.  The Justices however do not seem to be fulfilling this role very well as they give every appearance of legislating from the bench!
