I think most rational people the world over would think that in many cases the things you described would be alright if the situation called for it.
So if the situation calls for it, then it's ok? Like if we know for a fact, that a guy, who was the member of a terrorist faction, had information about future terrorist attacks, and even indicated he did prior.... then what does that situation call for?
I am not surprised to hear you say this. Bush tried to do it, and was successful in some ways.
In what way was Bush successful at dismantling the justice system?
OK, reality check here. To start, the first amendment would abolish any of those efforts. I was more referring to the 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th amendments.
Bunz... the first amendment... was added to the constitution. It can be removed, just like it was added. Right? Isn't that what happened with prohibition?
In 1919, the 18th amendment banned the production, distribution, and consumption of alcohol. In 1933, the 21st amendment was adopted that repealed the 18th amendment.
So... if all morals are based on simply what the constitution says... then we can change that, now can't we? So if I elect enough crazy Christian law makers, we can adopt an amendment to repeal the 1st, and adopt a national, state-sponsored, mandated religion. That will be YOUR moral code, if you believe the constitution is our moral code.... right?
