130. I kind of like the US Constitution

Wed Jun 12, 2013, 09:30 AM

Jun 2013

Flawed as it is, and shredded as it has become. But I am bemused by all the frantic outrage now. The Patriot Act is not news. No-knock warrants, agencies exempt from the 4th amendment, and wiretaps and other surveillance have been going on for my entire lifetime, and I was born when the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn. Look at the numbers of legislators that supported the Patriot Act and related outrages, look at the number of citizens who jump on the "whatever it takes" bandwagon as soon as the talking heads tell them to be scared... of course we need to start somewhere, and late is better than never, but we have a lot of work ahead before we can reclaim our birthright from an Executive that has been steadily eroding it regardless of who sits in the Oval Office.
