Our public servants could care less they can't trample the people's rights. They want to be allowed to do so regardless of what is actually stipulated in the Constitution. Never mind that our rights are only listed in the Constitution to identify certain rights and none of them require government consent or permission for them to be exercised.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
