So what you are saying is that the bill of rights itself lays out a recipe which tells polticians what to start regulating and limiting to get themselves more power to turn the US into a tyrrany. The excuse is that since it's in the constitution the government can regulate it, even though it it stated otherwise.
- ctdonath 13y agoWhat I'm saying is that they Founding Fathers feared the BoR would be construed as being such a recipe when it plainly was not intended that way. Willful abuse of logical fallacies is common, needing only a pretext to build them on. The BoR was intended as an emphasis of what was not allowed, addressing key concerns; alas, the malicious point at it and contend that because it does not include every right to the point of encyclopedic completeness, anything not covered must not have been intended - which is obviously absurd, yet proves persuasive to the easily confused.
