Aw come on. Be fair. The historical importance of Magna Carta is diminishing by the day.
Pretty soon it'll just be some obscure artifact that shows all those quaint ideas they had about restraining absolute power back in the middle ages.
The principle of rulers being subject to the laws of the land does indeed seem an increasingly quaint concept.
