Is the Constitution still relevant? I thought it was mainly a historical document at this point.

Much like the Bible, its place in American culture is to be revered as a symbol, with the actual words on paper not mattering in the slightest.
Except a very small portion of a specific amendment, taken out of context.
The FISAmendment?
No, the 2nd Amendment. Clearly. The one where they ignore the first half of the ONLY sentence:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,"
Where they only care about the second half:
"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
