first amendment: how many folks have been locked up for speaking their mind... in groups?
second amendment: how many ways has the government pushed to make firearms illegal and how many have they been successful with?
third amendment: no comment
fourth amendment: i get tickets mailed to me with my picture in my car for blowing a light turning red to avoid being rear ended... and i can't refute it... cause i've been photo'd.
fifth amendment: how many people just plainly have not been able to afford proper counsel to go to a jury trial? kinda makes that amendment useless in that manner.
sixth amendment: they have the right to tell you you cannot have contact the other parties in opposition to your case and practice it regularly. speedy public trial... is there such thing?
seventh amendment: once again... trial by jury... if you can afford it...
eighth amendment: excessive bail is a tool utilized to keep people from being able to run. cruel punishment is locking someone in solitary confinement until their thoughts are mush... but they do it so often it can't be considered unusual thereby getting past the "and" in cruel and unusual.
ninth amendment: shall not be construed to deny or disparage.... ehem... really?
tenth amendment: or to the people... i say show me...
so, yes... they will... without a second thought.
basically what i'm saying is 8 of my first 10 amendment rights have been stripped of me at one point in time or another. beings the constitution is the basis of what our laws run off of today (supposedly) i see nothing else stopping our government from what they feel necessary or what they want to ban... for whatever reason they use to justify it...
