But the Bill of Rights gets in the way….
2008-06-06It occurred to me recently that a major objection to a narrow construction of the Bill of Rights is that it would interfere with various compelling government interests. For example, it’s not possible to wage the drug war or crack down on violence without violating the Fourth Amendment.
Hmm. Is it possible then, that these are areas that our government wasn’t designed to do? Like, maybe the Bills of Rights is getting in the way because it’s supposed to get in the way?
