Overthrowing the Constitution: All Sides Are Waging War on Our Freedoms

All sides are still waging war on our constitutional freedoms, and “we the people” remain the biggest losers.

Indeed, Trump has repeatedly called for parts of the Constitution to be terminated, while both Harris and Trump seem to view the First Amendment’s assurance of the right to free speech, political expression and protest as dangerous when used to challenge the government’s power.

It is both apt and ironic that the anniversary of 9/11, which paved the way for the government to overthrow the Constitution, occurs the week before the anniversary of the day the U.S. Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787.

Neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris have the greatest of track records when it comes to actually respecting the rights enshrined in the Constitution, despite the rhetoric being trotted out by both sides lately regarding their so-called devotion to the rule of law.

The Fifth Amendment and the Sixth Amendment work in tandem.

A healthy, representative government is hard work.

It is there to protect, defend and even enhance our freedoms, not violate them.
