How an abusive government turns the Constitution against you
By Robert Arvay

Question: Does the Bill of Rights protect citizens from government excess?  Nearly everyone will agree that it does.  The very reason we have a Bill of Rights is to protect you, the citizen, against abuses by government.

Next question: Can the government use the Bill of Rights as a shield in order to violate your constitutional rights?

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

Of course they can and do so with great regularity!

That's like asking if a dog with an overloaded bladder can use a fire hydrant.

The fact that the very fact that they regularly abuse power in our day of tyranny and then hide behind the 5th Amendment with great regularity is a serious legal matter.  I would go so far as to say it amounts to novel but obvious grounds for a court fight to strip government officials of a right given to private citizens, a right designed to protect them from an abusive government.

I think that the SCOTUS would love to rule on a landmark case like this one.  (I certainly would if I were on the Court.)

Wow!  An article discussing how the government has been turned into an instrument of theft and denial of rights, all by courts.

A thread just primed for somebody like @Jazzhead to come and tell us why that's good and proper.
