My constitutional rights

To my surprise, I still have a few.

Apparently, there are certain amendments that the American government DARE not tamper with. The first of which is my right to own a gun. A split Supreme ruled that the District of Columbia's ban on guns violated the second amendment. Gun enthusiasts all over the country are hoisting their confederate flags and breaking open the bud ice in celebration! Their main contention is, of course, you can't mess with the constitution. I wonder- where were those gun enthusiasts when the Congress elected give immunity to telco companies who violated their 4th amendment rights? Do you think they will put down their semi-automatic rifles to phone their senators and urge them to vote against yet another FISA capitulation?

Secondly, the supreme court ruled that child rape does not warrant the death penalty. More importantly, the death penalty cannot be used in non-capital offenses. Rape should be a capital offense. Another topic for another day.

Did anyone else notice that on the same day the court ruled on the highly emotional child rape case they also decided to let Exxon Mobil off the hook? My my, how the profit margin doth swell! In any case, I noticed, because IM PAYING ATTENTION.

One way ticket to Holland please.
