The Post-Constitutional Era
• Truthdig.... It means that
extraordinary rendition of U.S. citizens on U.S. soil by our government
is legal. It means that the courts, like the legislative and executive
branches of government, exclusively serve corporate power—one of the
core definitions of fascism. It means that the internal mechanisms of
state are so corrupted and subservient to corporate power that there is

constitutional rights. It means that the consent of the governed—a poll

You have rights, right? Everybody has rights. And the further you travel from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, the more your rights grow, until you are fully adult and your rights are fully in place.
Governments and laws don't have anything to do with you having rights, or you not having rights. Your rights are there, naturally, without Government having anything to do with it.
So, what's Government for then? Government is there for ONE reason. It is there to give people in law enforcement permission to trample all over your rights.
Do you want to secure the results that you obtain from exercising your rights? There's only one way. Get rid of laws, and limit Governmental activity to judging repayment, based on REAL harm and/or damage done to one individual by another. That's it. More than this tramples on your rights.
