#Constitution has been #DOA ever since because it didn't protect everybody. The rule of law has never occurred. Honesty is essential; number one law. Tired of drinking sour milk. Our lives would improve significantly if we could swap Constitution for Universal Declaration of #Human #Rights.

For all the originalists out there, I noticed this in @Compassionatecrab 's profile. It struck a chord, now as it certainly did then:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

It speaks to yesterday's SCOTUS ruling, reshaping our government to try to crown a king, and it speaks to our inaction in the face of it:

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

It exhorts us to action:

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Interesting perspective from those American founders.

🇧🇪🤦‍♂️ Oh no, the big bad ambassador called the Belgian police because a #journalist asked a *scary* question! Apparently, press freedom now comes with conditions: don't upset the delicate egos of diplomats or else it's *bye-bye* reporting and *hello* handcuffs! 🚓😂
