I like to remind people who sleep a lot, that they should move once in a while just to prove they're not dead. They could get buried by accident.
Maybe today on the birthday of the Bill of Rights, we should exercise one or more of them....just to prove they aren't dead.
Will today be the day that Obama guts the Bill of Rights by signing the NDAA 2012
how ironic
Somewhere they are laughing at us

Windpower, he only guts it if we let him.
The Bill of Rights is more than a piece of paper, it's the ideal we set up to govern ourselves. Just because some ...Person...in the White House signs a bill that shouldn't ave been passed anyway, doesn't mean I'll go along with it.
It's the law you say....
So is wearing a seat belt and you won't see me with one on. c*
If the Bill of Rights gets gutted, it's because we let it happen!
Sometimes we work within the system, sometimes we flip it the bird.
I agree with your sentiments Peter
but
I hope that blood will not be spilled before this is overturned
It takes all three branches of government to gut it. Congress and the President have passed many laws abridging the bill of rights. The final level of protection for people is the courts, yet on occasion they have been just as spineless.
