Okay ... the Constitution ... alright, where does the Constitution codify murder? If you believe it does, where does the Constitution set out the penalty for that murder? What about theft? Fraud? DUI?
The US Code, and, indeed all statutes, ostensibly spell out the details to allow the Constitution to be enjoyed by all. When there is a conflict between Constitutional principles and the statutes, that is where the appellate courts get involved.
