We did not suddenly arrive to the moment where riot police arrest CNN journalists. Though the issues may be complex, recent history suggests that the suppression of civil rights—even for a pandemic—leads inexorably to the abuse of other core freedoms by the government.
The answer should be obvious to any with a passing appreciation for the First Amendment. Our Constitution guarantees the"free exercise of religion" and the"right of the people peaceably to assemble.
The last three months reveal that too many state and local officials often resist that limitation on their power. The truth serum embedded in the coronavirus appears to be that it reveals the lust for power dormant in many public officials. They believe it within their power to, like a light switch, turn civil rights on or off as they see fit.
Of course, this fundamentally disagrees with the central message of our Bill of Rights: The rights articulated therein belong to, and remain with, the people by virtue of their humanity. The limited rights of government—what the people empower government to do—are articulated in the body of the Constitution. The Bill of Rights make plain what the people refused to permit the government to govern. Together, this works to restrain government and ensure freedom.

1st amendment......must be ok as this 'article' is published and opinions are offered
As far as the GOP is, it is. Thanks to MarcoRubio, SusanCollins, and company.
It was alive?
The goal of the federalist movement is the re-interpretation of centuries of SC precedent, greatly reducing the power of democracy and rewriting the bill of rights. They are very organized and well funded. They have hidden in the shadows until now. Take them seriously.
The Bill of Rights is not only dead and buried but so, too, is the U.S Constitution and what passed as 'American democracy'. The problem is most Americans don't care enough to do more than cherry pick the bits they like & ignore the rest.
America is now a dictatorship under the rule of an incompetent corrupt unstable self imposed king. If the election does not stop trumps regime, all is lost. The Republican Party is now no different then the brown shirts of the nazi regime of prewar Germany with their silence
except for during COVID which I hear has lost steam. Except for lefties are offended by every other word. Except for when lefties wanna take your guns ...
🤣🤣🤣🤣 it and the US Constitution are not worth the paper they are written on. This country is based on useless documents that the current administration has proven have no power nor merit.
Key word is ( YET) American led by a pornstar loving perv - is heading towards MOSCOW and 🇨🇳.
