This posting from the blog FROM THE GRANDSTAND has done an absolutely OUTSTANDING job of explaining the reality of Constitutional rights, as opposed to what the current feckless weasels of Congress, the legal establishment, etc. are trying to shove down our throats these days.
The Chief looked for an excerpt to quote, but couldn’t decide what could be excised without the surrounding context – so go check it out – this post is totally worth reading, so educate yourself, and go do it!
