A documentary about what is happening in the UK. Two-tiered policing, the police tolerate protests from the left, never the right. How totalitarian tactics are becoming the norm and how the State uses lawfare against specific groups. Sound familiar? State imposed ideology. Uncontrolled immigration. Indictments over nothing.

I’ll take the 1787 Federal Convention position regarding what evolved afterward as the 1st Amendment.
Since the draft Constitution did not empower the proposed government to restrict speech, press, assembly, exercise of religion, petition it was dangerous to itemize them.

The Brit constitution is whatever Parliament says it is.
Our Constitution is one of (supposedly) defined powers.
So, I’ll take the 1787 Federal Convention position regarding what evolved afterward as the 1st Amendment.
Since the draft Constitution did not empower the proposed government to restrict speech, press, assembly, exercise of religion, petition, our Framers recognized it was dangerous to itemize them. Why?
The 1A implies our rights are limited to those it itemized.
