- newaccountman2 5mo agoI deleted my previous comment, but no, it's not "completely wrong". "drew heavily" != "the same" I went to law school and I assume you did too; I'm not sure why you would say this lol Among other things, the fact that the US has The Bill of Rights is turning out to be important when it comes to privacy and free speech issues.
