So which Amendment is it that permits subordination of the Constitution to "safety from terrorism?"

I've heard people this week criticize the Founders, and the Constitution, saying that all that founding business (The Constitution) is old news, outdated, they even called the founding Fathers "Constitutional Fundamentalists"!!!! WTF? I felt like I had stumbled into the wrong website. They complain about those old "Aristocrats" who owned slaves. But let me tell them that yes, they were Aristocrats who owned slaves, but they were very intelligent and enlightened men. They just didn't wake up one morning and write the Constitution and Bill of Rights like it was doodling. They debated, discussed, stopped and fought a war and came back to it. And finally, in 1789, they had a Constitution that they could all agree with, and that they felt would stand the test of time for these United State of America. And the only time we seem to fall down in this country is when we don't honor it. When we don't follow the Constitution. When we don't follow the rule of law that was set down for us all those years ago.

Thank you, markpkessinger, for this OP of "Common Sense".
