Freedom of expression, like the rest of the Bill of Rights, is under assault in this country.

Do you have a different copy of the Constitution? Can you tell me where "freedom of expression" is written? It must be under the same heading as "separation of church and state"...

Not only do you not understand habeas corpus, you don't even understand the Constitution or the principles this country was founded on.

The Bill of Rights doesn't grant anything. It merely enumerates certain Rights that we have. Just because something isn't listed there, doesn't mean we don't have that Right. (See the 9th amendment)

For example, there is no enumerated Right to travel, or to walk down the street without being mugged, or even to breathe! Yet, we all have these Rights.

Like so many Americans, you lack a fundamental understanding of what the principles on which this country was founded.

You need to read more. I suggest starting with the Declaration of Independence. Then read the Constitution. Do some research on a fellow named John Peter Zenger. Then read "Origins of the Bill of Rights" by Levy. Read the early arguments of James Otis. And so on.
