Torture is illegal. Aggressive war is illegal. Slavery is illegal. Bribery is illegal. Treason is illegal. People have a right to speak, associate, protest, and have their privacy. There are no special exemptions that make some people above the law. Corporations are not people. Traitors and insurrectionists are barred from office, and the Constitution is a higher authority than the courts that are permitted limited authority to reconcile it.

That's...fucking...it.
