These 461 words are the defense of our "unalienable" rights. Starting with the blatant and unconstitutional socialism of FDR, Washington has steadily eroded our rights until today many of our "unalienable" rights are but privileges allowed or refused at the whim of a capricious central government. Some have been nearly usurped by Washington.

These Amendments are not a wish list. They are the law of the land -- restrictions all government officials must obey.

These Amendments are still part of our Constitution. Therefore, they are still officially the basis for our rule of law.

What happened to the Oath of Office?

Might as well start writing a euology of them, since most of these rights are now dead.

Great post!

I carry a Constitution with me everywhere I go -- if not a written one, one in my heart and mind!

Lest we forget, this is a day worth remembering and celebrating.

“I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” [Thomas Jefferson, letter to Benjamin Rush, 1800.]

Today, our Bill of Rights becomes 211 years old.

More accurately, it would be 211 years old if it were still alive.
