Now if we could only reaffirm the 1st, 2nd, and 10th I'd be a much happier person.
Don't forget the 4th Amendment, which has been seriously subverted by the (ANTI)Patriot Act and the Homeland Fatherland Security Act, among others.
BTW, although the DARPA TIA (Total Information Awareness) project, that was passed under the HSA, was defunded after tremendous public outcry, it has recently been learned that TIA is alive and well and still under the administration of convicted felon, John Poindexter, now as a part of ARDA (Advanced Research and Development Agency).
Let me see if I got this right. The Dubya administration authored the single greatest assault on the 4th Amendment in history (the HSA). Then, when public outcry against TIA's threat to the 4th Amendment turned out to be so massive, the administration pretended to give up and lied to the public, saying that they were withdrawing TIA. In actuality, all they really did, was to move both funding for TIA and its operations from DARPA to ARDA, without losing a step and even convicted felon, John Poindexter, is still in charge of it. And all of this from a president who wants us to believe that he is protecting our Constitutional rights. Yeah, right! And pigs fly!
The SCOTUS needs to reaffirm the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 10th Amendments, as well as the 6th. The problem is that Dubya would probably just continue to stonewall, even after a ruling, just as he has done on the 6th Amendment case of non-combatant US citizen, Jose Padilla.
This ruling is a good start, but we have a long way to go.
