a plain reading would lead one to believe some of those things apply to the fed, and others apply to all, though much handwavium has been done by judges to ignore whatever the point of the document was to begin with.
Frankly, if appointed judges with lifetime terms are making all of the important decisions in government, I don't see that as being materially different than a monarchy.
The Constitution does say that all cases brought under it will go to one supreme court, so there is a provision for it. But the thing with all documents is that they’re just paper if unenforced. Part of getting to the point where a document does get enforced, however, involves making the general population believe in that document.
Conversely, the president can do something but he'll get dragged into court over it (happens constantly these days), and all courts answer to the SCOTUS.
So it is a balance.
You can also use it to silently expropriate wealth from people to other people via pork spending. Wealth redistribution is very realistic with fiat currencies.

Man, I agree so much.
It's not funny how many people have no idea, that our currency was created for the purpose of allowing silent wealth redistribution.
The smarter guys can laugh about it, but noone can say outloud, that we are sucking the entire economy dry just so few pigs can spend it on some million dollar social study about homosexuality of roasters.
