Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[sarals]

How do you preserve a free society when people use the freedom to destroy it?

How is making sure a person has the right to a speedy trial and counsel giving them the freedom to destroy our country? I believe the opposite. Who decides that a person is guilty or not ahead of a fair trial? Hasn't that policy been used over the ages to justify political imprisonment of opposition by dictators, monarchs, etc? If a few individuals have the power to indescriminately take away our civils rights, our freedom has been destroyed IMO.

The constitution was written for people who wanted to live freely in the USA, not freely destroy it.

You have a quote for that part? Our civils right insure that our government doesn't abuse it's power. Without those safeguards in place, a few powerful people can rip apart a citizens life without any accountability.
