The UK is not the United States.

They have no First Amendment, so there is no guarantee of freedom of speech or of the press.

They have no Second Amendment, so there is close to zero opportunity to defend yourself against a foreign invader, a criminal, or a totalitarian government.

They have no Sixth Amendment, so trials do not have to be public, and British subjects have no right to know what happens in their courtrooms.


This travesty of justice is yet another proof that we have to vigorously protect the literal meaning of every God-given individual right enumerated in our Bill of Rights. It is also evidence that we need to restore the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to their literal meanings. The Founding Fathers knew that governments grow like cancer, and they gave us the means to limit that growth. We were negligent when we allowed two vital amendments designed to control FedGov to be ignored with impunity.

They have an English Bill of Rights which precedes ours by a hundred years.

So much, as James Madison wrote, of “parchment barriers.”
