A new constitution will probably have a "bill of rights", but in the following form: "the people will have the right to (fill in the blank) unless the gov't says otherwise".

AKA the UN's "Universal Declaration of Human Rights".

The former Soviet Union also had a very lovely Constitution...on paper. But everyone "understood" that the State could do whatever it liked....

That's the path we are embarked upon.

In 20 years the rising generation, raised on school locker searches etc, will see our Constitution the same way as the Ivans saw theirs...just pretty words on paper.

One more generation, and freedom will be a memory of the elderly.
