Gee, you seem to be suggesting that here in the
US we should adopt something like:
"The right of the people to be secure in
their persons, houses, papers, and
effects, against unreasonable searches and
seizures, shall not be violated, and no
Warrants shall issue, but upon probable
cause, supported by Oath or affirmation,
and particularly describing the place to
be searched, and the persons or things to
be seized."
Ah, heck, how would the US ever adopt such a thing?
And, even if we did, could we follow it?
More along the same lines might be:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the press; or
the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government
for a redress of grievances."
Such a policy would seem to guarantee
the ability to gather on the Mall in
DC to say things about the US involvement
in Viet Nam, the Balkans, Iraq,
Syria, etc.
For more, how about a policy such as:
"The Congress shall have Power To
...
declare War, grant Letters of Marque
and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning
Captures on Land and Water;"
So, from this, the President could not
declare war? Do we have freedom of speech
to ask this question"?
Ah, there's the old thought, to be
strong, both muscles and
constitutional rights need exercise!

"Ah we got trouble, right here in River
City. Trouble starts with a T, and that
rhymes with a P, and that stands for"
pictures and phone and naked pictures
on a phone! "Oh we got trouble!".

Nice speech.
Good post.
