Hey, you got me there. Mea culpa.
Enough about me. Let's talk about you. Where do you stand on the re-writing of the DoI, BoR, unalienable rights, and the Constitution in general? You like the idea of renegotiating the terms of our founding contract?
What's so great about your sh
it constitution, anyway? A musty bit of paper can't hold the government to account when it exceeds its authority, and your legal system hasn't done a very good job speaking up for it either. Habeas corpus has either largely or completely broken down, depending on who you ask and their opinion of the correct reading of the AUMF (2001)/NDAAF 2011/2, and Obama's resorted to ruling by decree. Nice job, constitution, you're really holding executive power in check there. It'd be a terrible shame if anyone modified this peerless instrument of liberty in any way.
At the end of the day, it's the polity that has to be responsible for holding the state in check, especially with a legal system as politicised as yours. If you can't trust them to change the constitution (via representatives and the onerous 2/3rds reqs etc), how can you trust them to enforce it anyway?
