Is this perhaps the "Constitution" our "public servants" take an oath to uphold, protect, and defend?

So this "Annotated" "Constitution" is, by statutory Public Law, a constantly altered, and ever changing Senate Document,
pre-pare-ed,

revised, rendered, and with provisions
construed by The Supreme Court and its "decisions," and, which "shall be distributed," to, and "for the use of" only a very limited exclusive group of government agents?
We The People do not get a "distribution" which "shall be for the use of" We the People do we?
No wonder we get laughed at when we bring our plain English original unadulterated "Constitution for the United States of America to the Notice of our government!
Looks to me like 5 men and/or women get to tell
everyone what the "Con-stitution"
REALLY means, since we are apparently considered too stupid to read such an
ESOTERIC document and evaluate the words ourselves, much less to have access to the constantly revised construed
rend-er-ing.
