Bill of Rights is mess-up, imo
1) Freedom of religion, speech, press, assemble peaceably.
Jews were ostracized when Hitler was around; now Muslims are ostracized when Taliban is around. Everything nowadays scream Terrorists Alert!!!
As for speech, why do they have PARENTS ADVISORY EXPLICIT CONTENT or any kind of censorship. Lame.
Press-there's a limit to freedom of press. You got your real hard news, which includes breaking news, and you got your run-of-the-mill yellow journalism, which includes paparazzi, who's dating whom. If you're a celeb, watch out, yellow journalism is at your beck and call. Kinda annoying to the celebs, but people makes big bucks off gossiping about celebs, but whatever happened to hard-hitting news. The facts, baby, the facts! They're more important than what-ifs.
Assemble peaceably-they don't the meaning of what it is. Make a change by taking a stand against an issue you disagree upon, but people have become violent in the process.
Look at the Vietnam War protests and the protest against segregation.These examples became violent, no thanks to the gov't.
2) Bear arms-shouldn't we bear arms just so that we could defend ourselves, not to kill others for the sake of killing. That's why we oughta have gun control laws.
4) Search house only with a warrant-It is still an invasion of privacy unless the person or people are criminals.
5) Accused Rights- Innocent till proven guilty. Can't self-incriminate Right to remain silent. Miranda Rights, anybody? Trials affect w/ and w/o cameras due process
6) Right to fair and speedy public criminal trial by impartial jury where the crime was committed. The defendant must be able to question the accuser and to force favorable witnesses to testify. The accuser has a right to a lawyer. (I won't talk till my lawyer's present!)
7) Jury Trials-we, the people, decide who get what punishment! Let the people decide what punishment to get!
8)Prohibits-
Unreasonable fines and bails for criminals.
Unusual & Cruel Punishment: self-incrimination, torture
Do you think the Death Penalty is Unusual & Cruel Punishment? I think so. Whatcha think?
