I think that they can do that in those places anyway. That’s what we’ve got right now.

Actually, if we actually had a Federal Republic with limited government duties spelled out in a Constitution, they couldn't.

Rights would be protected and you wouldn't have to ask permission to exercise them. Your petty dictator down at City Hall couldn't arbitrarily take them away from you.

The BoR was to be our "Declaration of the Rights of Man". Broad and general. Something every US citizen, regardless of where in the US they lived, could look to and know that these basic and fundamental Rights were off limits to Government.

Turn that on it's head and we are no better than France or Russia.
