We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

It may be from 2007, but, if you vote then hit see latest results, the total votes is still climbing. Seems like an active poll to me!

I really hate this poll because it starts with a false premise. The Bill of Rights does not give us any of our rights. It serves to protect those rights we already have. The 2nd Amendment does not give us the right to bear arms. The 2nd Amendment protects our pre-existing right to bear arms from infringement by the government. Similarly, the 4th Amendment does not give us the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure. The 4th Amendment protects our pre-existing right to be free from unreasonable search and seizurefrom violation by the government.
(The only arguable exception I can seeis the 6th Amendment by which an accused "shall enjoy" the right to a speedy trial. That language might be construed to grant a right that does not pre-exist the document. IAAL but I am not a constitutional scholar).
