It’s comforting to know that the President-elect is a friendly guy, David, but a friendly guy who wants to issue a new declaration of independence and supplant the Bill of Rights’ protection of individual rights from government intrusion ? despite over two centuries’ worth of Americans understanding it to protect individual rights from government intrusion ? with this poison-pill notion that it really only protects “group rights” (secured by government at the expense of individuals ? a complete inversion) amounts to a smiling significant threat to American freedoms and the continued success of the American experiment.
