The actions would make it look like Bush was on the run. Instead, he should come up wiyh new individual rights which will be added to The Bill of Rights by constitutional amendment. One would be the right to not go to a public school but to receive 75% of the per pupil expenditure to use to pay for a private school. This would be an absolute right. The reasoning is that the US secondary schools have failed to teach science and math and will never be reformed because they are controlled by the dead hand of unions. The next right would be for a person to chose arbitration instead of a court in the case of any crime except murder. The point is that the system is too expensive, the point being that even if not guilty you will be broke at the end of the battle. The next right would be to defeat zero tolerance at schools by immediate consideration by an administrative judge elected by the people for a term and not for life. The next right is that a person's property cannot be forfeited until he is convicted of a crime.The next right would be that nobody's total tax burden could exceed 1/3 of his income. This includes all taxes.The next right is that no one is subject to punitive damages, only compensatory damages. The reason is that a bunch of emotional jurors should not be able to go crazy with awards.What other rights would you suggest? The focus should be on improving the rights of the individual in face of the overwhelming destructive power of today's government and imperious court system.
