Constitutional Theft

The Agitator waxes about SCOTUS chewing up the Constitution with recent rulings:

Here's something that pisses me off:

Government at all levels, with the blessing of the Supreme Court, is stripping the American citizen of all his rights. Gone. We are on a direct trajectory toward collectivism. Individualism is dead. Property rights are dead. Your rights to your own body, your own health, and your own habits are dead. The Second, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth amendments are in peril. The First isn't exactly thriving.

And you wanna' know what the talk of the town the last two weeks has been?

What Dick Durbin said, and whether he should be spanked for it. And what Karl Rove said, and whether he should be spanked for it.

That's what talking heads have deemed important. Meanwhile, as we're all passionately debating who ought to apologize to whom, government is stealing our freedom.

A great post that should be read by every politician out there.

The crop of candidates that's shaping up for '08 should grab these issues and pound them daily. Kelo, the medicinal marijuana ruling and other rulings this year should have everyone--whether they're on the left or right--up in arms.

I tend to disagree with the line about Bush making out on the Rangers stadium as that is not exactly true. The City of Arlington is making a killing on that stadium last I read.
