Absolutely true.
BTW, who nominates this person?
"Someone with credibility. Tommmy Franks."
No thanks. Someone who thinks like this is not a smart choice. The Constitution can survive any attack.

"What is the worst thing that can happen in our country?" Franks asked rhetorically. "Two steps. The first step would be a nexus between weapons of mass destruction . . . and terrorism." The second step would be "the western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we've seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy."
Franks suggested that a "massive casualty-producing event" might cause "our population to question our own Constitution and begin to militarize our country."
