Museum Pieces

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Retired Supreme Court Justice Stevens calls for the repeal of the Second Amendment. It’s a relic of the 18th century.
His proposal would make sense if humanity had been so fundamentally transformed by the passing years that we no longer needed a check on government power. Looking around the world, or even at our own FBI, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Hey buddy, you know what else is a relic of the 18th Century? The Constitution itself. Let’s dump that, too. Make Donald Trump President-for-Life, abolish the concept of judicial review and expand Congress to 5,000 members that can form and dissolve coalitions at will, as other third world s***holes do.
Why not? What could possibly go wrong?

The bullet, the ballot and the Bill of Rights are the only checks we have on government tyranny. And for some reason, all are being attacked and marginalized these days.
