From Scarborough:

11. What is surprising about this?

The GOP in general hates the Constitution and the 1st Amendment in particular.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Freedom of Religion? - Try being Muslim in America
Freedom of Speech? - Not if you aren't in love with Trump
Freedom of the Press? - Fake news
Peaceable Assembly? - Haven't had that in a long time
Petition for redress? - Try getting your little voice heard by your Congresscritter. Try and go see them and get arrested.

Then think about other Constitutional guarantees:

Unreasonable search and seizure? - Try flying and being pulled out of line for 'enhanced screening'
Deprived of property without due process? - Get stopped for a broken taillight with a large amount of cash - Asset Forfeiture.

Cruel and unusual punishment? - Go look at what is happening in 'private prisons'.

And so on.
