Commie libs would love to see the entire Bill of Rights “go”. It’s a commie pig thing. You can’t destroy freedom and enslave the entire population with that pesky Bill of Rights out there hanging over the heads of the communist masters.

Actually they can. The Bill of Rights is only as good as the willingness of the people to kill (not complain to, vote against, or sue) would-be tyrants who try to take it away. It’s easy for the people to decide to do that when the tyrant tries to take it all at once, but when the tyrant does it by chipping away a little a time and turning small portions of each right into a “privilege” that must be licensed, then the decision point becomes harder to calculate.

Yep. And there are two ways to make them "go". One is to outright repeal the Bill of Rights. That's not going to happen anytime soon.

Here's the second way. Have the courts interpret these amendments to have them refer to the rights of the government, and not to individuals. That's where the danger is.
