Enabling Tyranny

The position of the US Government is that the rights granted Americans by the Constitution facilitate terrorism. To be safe from terrorists, the argument goes, we must allow the government to take liberties with the Constitution. This argument gives government the power to set aside the Constitution, and, thus, enables tyranny.

After years of treating the Constitution as a "living document", it has become an antiquity with little basis for governance.
