[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] We should all look up successful attempts at abridging rights in the UK now. Besides the unsuccessful handgun ban, I mean. I can see the difference now. USA: Gov. Guy #1. : I don't like this thing here. Let's enact a law that says that people can't look at it/write about it/think about it. Gov. Guy #2. : Great... except that that's unconstitutional. You'd be in for a losing fight at the Supreme Court, and the public outcry would end your career. Gov. Guy #1. : Oh, forget it, then. Damn Bill of Rights. UK: Gov. Guy #1. : I don't like this thing here. Let's enact a law that says that people can't look at it/write about it/think about it. Gov. Guy #2. : Great! There's nothing to stop it, the public, not having that right, has no excuse to outcry, and even if they do and end your career, the law can't be struck down as going against the citizenry's rights, so it'll stay. Gov. Guy #1. : Cool. (Vastly oversimplified, I know.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
