“We now live in a nation where constitutional rights exist in theory, not in practice. Yet what good are rights on paper when every branch of government is allowed to ignore, circumvent, chip away at or hollow them out in practice? Two hundred and thirty-four years after the ratification of the Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791, the safeguards meant to shield ‘We the people’ from government abuse are barely recognizable. In ways the Founders could scarcely have imagined — and would never have tolerated — the safeguards meant to restrain government overreach have become little more than empty platitudes.” (12/08/25)
