The US Constitution... Hahaha

People don’t even know what is says, not even those sworn in under it or sworn to defend it.

Every single one of the Bill or Rights has been abridged. Name me one single right that we still have where government hasn’t made a small astrix and redefined for us what right we actually have, when it applies, to whom it applies, where it applies, and what license you need and how much it will cost for you to exercise your “constitutional right.” Just give me one of the 10 that still stands today?

You have laws in blatant contradiction of the most BASIC ideas explicitly expressed in the Constitution and no one in the judicial, legislative or executive branch has taken action to end this for years, i.e. FISA, Patriot Act, free speech zones, gun free zones...

When I hear someone mention the US Constitution (it’s become seldom) I just want to laugh.

Well, you’re sick.
Though anything from Napolitano is nonsense.

“Every single one of the Bill or Rights has been abridged.”

The Patriot Act was the creation of a Republican President, passed by a Republican Congress, and upheld by a Supreme Court with a majority of the justices appointed by Republican presidents.

The Kelo decision by the Supreme Court, which gutted protections for private property, was made possible by two justices appointed by Republican presidents — Kennedy and Souter.

Obamacare and its mandate forcing people to pay a “tax” (construed by Chief Justice Roberts) to big corporate medical insurance companies, was enshrined into law by a Chief Justice appointed by a Republican president. The failure to repeal Obamacare in Congress was made possible by the no votes of GOP Senators McCain, Collins and Murkowski.

Legalized abortion on demand was the gift of Supreme Court Justice Blackman, appointed by GOP President Richard Nixon.

Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney. The duo picked by the GOP to run for VP and president in 2012 actively worked to thwart real conservative legislation in Congress after 2012.

One sided free trade legislation, that gutted American industry, was the primary achievement of GOP President George H W Bush and supported strongly, for decades, by GOP members of Congress.

Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee GOP Senator Richard Burr led an oversight investigation of the intelligence community. The recent report was an almost complete whitewash. But it was “bipartisan.

GOP Senator Lindsay Graham insists his committee is going to investigate many troubling issues. Count on it.

When Republicans have held the executive branch, and both houses of Congress, how many pieces of meaningful legislation were passed and signed to roll back the oppressive state?

How many times has GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell adjourned the Senate in the past 3 1/2 years so President Trump could make recess appointments of qualified candidates for appointed office being blocked by Democrats?

Democrats bad, Republicans good. Vote GOP. Republicans will protect and preserve your liberty.

III Amendment, maybe?

Amendment III

No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

That's the only one I can think of.
