And Habeus Corpus can be a joke with a selfish enough judge. We are at the mercy of these self-righteous thugs anymore and the lackeys at the PDs. To think everything I so admired about my country as a school kid turns out to be spit upon by these bad apples and helps set morally wrong precedent is sad. This judge should be ashamed. 1984 is right around the corner-oops its here.
"Rarely do we focus predominantly on the text, on original meaning, on tradition, on constitutional structure, on claims of changed circumstances, and on other forms of interpretive argument. 3 We know that in reality, to practicing lawyers, the Constitution is indeed what the Court says it is. And influenced by this reality, we mostly teach and critique the Court's pronouncements."
I found this particularly interesting in light of the fact of all the rants I see here on FR as to what the Constitution means.
Yes, but keep in mind that it didn't happen overnight, so it can't be fixed overnight. But I am still an optimist. I still think it can be fixed.
