Make possession of marajuana a felony!

Why do you hate the Bill of Rights?

1. Amd. 10 -- Limits the authority of the federal government to that which is explicitly delegated by the states by the Constitution.
2. Amd. 9 -- Declares that the enumeration of rights [in the Bill of Rights] is not exhaustive -- therefore things like travel may indeed be a right.
3. Amd. 8 -- Prohibits both excessive bail and excessive fines, both of which are common in drug cases.
4. Amd. 7 -- Guarantees the right to jury trial for civil matters exceeding $20, asset forfeiture rules/regulations make this a lie.
5. Amd. 6 -- Guarantees a speedy trial (denied by courts being clogged), an impartial jury (violated by the routine tacking-on of drug charges & the jury instructions that one must find guilty even if one does not agree with the law), to be confronted by the witnesses against him (violated by secret police informants).
6. Amd. 5 -- How does “Comprehensive Forfeiture Act of 1984” comply with “No person shall [...] be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”?
7. Amd. 4 -- Kentucky v King, wherein the USSC acknowledges that the 4th Amendment requires warrants… then proceeds to declare that warrantless searches are acceptable:

   “The Fourth Amendment expressly imposes two requirements: All searches and seizures must be reasonable; and a warrant may not be issued unless probable cause is properly established and the scope of the authorized search is set out with particularity. [...] The proper test follows from the principle that permits warrantless searches: warrantless searches are allowed when the circumstances make it reasonable, within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, to dispense with the warrant requirement.”

8. Amd. 3 -- Nothing here… yet.
9. Amd. 2 -- Arguably, the “prohibited persons” from the `68 GCA (which also violates multiple amendments, as well as the prohibition on ex post facto law).
10. Amd. 1 -- Religious freedom is denied via the war on drugs (see Smith), there are stories of “legalization”-advocacy publishers being raided/harassed.

The War on Drugs has destroyed the Bill of Rights, period.

Instant execution would be better!

I have 2 dead cousins that I would include that as far as i’m concerned should have been executed as teenagers instead of craping up the world with their drugs for years.
