Tatters

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are in tatters. How many people care? I mean, besides us.

A sampling:

  • Article I – usurped by the unitary executive
  • First Amendment – establishment of religion routine; free speech zones and a lapdog transcriptionist press; assembly routinely curtailed; redress against government activity suppressed
  • Fourth – gone
  • Fifth – gone for some time regarding seizure of tainted property
  • Sixth – Jose can you Padilla?
  • Eighth – waterboard this!
  • Ninth – now applies solely to the government
  • Tenth – power to the people? How quaint.
