Is there anything left of the bill of rights? Anything at all?

quick summary from wikipedia:

The Bill of Rights protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the freedom of assembly, and the freedom to petition. It also prohibits unreasonable search and seizure, cruel and unusual punishment, and compelled self-incrimination. The Bill of Rights also prohibits Congress from making any law respecting establishment of religion and prohibits the federal government from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. In federal criminal cases, it requires indictment by grand jury for any capital or "infamous crime", guarantees a speedy public trial with an impartial jury composed of members of the state or judicial district in which the crime occurred, and prohibits double jeopardy

speech... not so much
religion... if you are christian
arms... meh...
assembly... lol gone
petition... gone decades ago
search and seizure... gone
cruel and unusual punishment... gone
self-incrimination... wavering
due process... gone
public trial... gone for "enemy combatants"
double jeopardy... still ok as far as I know

The founding fathers would be revolting in the streets, yet my friends and family look at me kinda funny when I mention these things to them.

I was inspired to rewrite the pledge of allegiance:

I pledge allegiance
To the logo
Of the federalized states of 'Amerika',
And to the corporate interests,
For which it stands,
One nation,
Playing God,
Divided,
With liberty and justice for none.

Footage of Mass Arrest in St. Paul

[Ryoki]

Scary...

Witnessed something a bit like that myself once, years ago during the Fast Forward Dance Parade in Rotterdam. Which is basically a lot of trucks with dj's on them and a lot of dancing people around them going slowly through the city to the harbor, for a big party. Riot police followed the last truck in a rigid line across the streets, bats and shields first... so you really didn't wanna get too close to them. But suddenly the cops moved towards the truck faster, so there was a lot less space for the last people in the crowd - who began to rush forward to stay clear of the approaching cops. Which caused people further up to push em back because they didn't see what was going on... and suddenly both the crowd and the cops panicked and there was this sudden flash riot type thing for a couple of minutes. Calmed down as fast as it had flared up, and as far as i could see noone got smacked too bad... but still. Nobody was doing anything wrong, the cops caused it 100%.

Hey, maybe sometimes the cops get all worked up leading up to a big event but when they get there the people are all peaceful and happy. So they feel compelled to create their own special type of fun.

brilliant. send national guardsmen to fight a war, then send soldiers to police the streets at home

actually, if you end up with the military patrolling american streets, i suggest hiring the british army because they've done that kind of shit before and also speak your language. just don't throw any snowballs

2/3rds of US Population lives in "Constitution-Free" zone.

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution contains a border-related exception to unreasonable search and seizure laws, permitting searches at border checkpoints that wouldn't be permitted elsewhere. But federal statute 8 CFR 287.1 (a)(1-3) defines the border zone for enforcement purposes as encompassing an area within 100 miles of the actual border, with the possibility of extending it further under certain circumstances. This means that the US Border Patrol could conceivably set up random checkpoints asking travelers for a passport in places like Columbus, Ohio; Houston; or anywhere in the state of Florida. And, in fact, it appears that it has been doing exactly this.

Police get the wrong block, arrest 12 year old girl as a hooker while she was going outside the house to throw a breaker. Refuse to admit wrongdoing, justify arrest by saying she was forcefully resisting arrest.
