All democracies do, one way or the other.

  Plenty of democracies with weak or highly overridable constitutions. Most of Canada’s is like that. Basically governments can suspend all of your “fundamental freedoms” for 5 year periods, renewed as often as they like.

    Every country is like that, including the USA.

      No it's not, as evidence by the numerous laws struck down by the Supreme Court.
      • immibis 3y ago
        The laws don't mean anything if you get arrested anyway.
        • refurb 3y ago
          Sure they do because you’re released.

            You can't seriously be that naive. Or maybe you're just trolling. Where's the block feature?
            • refurb 3y ago
              I'm naive to think that people arrested when the Supreme Court strikes down a law get released?

  Not to anywhere near the same extent. Meaning, not when it matters.
