They did that because they KNEW there would be people who would get into positions of power and write laws intended to oppress the people. It was brilliant in fact. To give the people that power. But along the way some power hungry people made it difficult for juries to even know they have that right.
Eg, Kings used to write laws, sometimes on the spur of the moment to make something an enemy had done that was perfectly LEGAL, ILLEGAL.
That is exactly what happened here around 2005 when Congress voted for the now infamous FISA AMENDMENT in order to make LEGAL Bush's ILLEGAL Spying on the American people. But that didn't change the 4th Amendment to the Constitution, which IS the law of the land, did it?
So they can take their Secret Court Fisa Warrants, BULK WARRANTS btw, on millions of people, WHERE IS THE PROBABLE CAUSE? and SHOVE THEM. Without showing probable cause, those Secret Court rubber stamps, AFTER THE SPYING has occurred btw, are a farce and WILL be overturned as soon as we get people into office who have the guts to rid this country of Bush's anti-Constitutional phony 'laws'.
