The Strength of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights

My freedoms are founded upon the bedrock of the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights therein, established  by our Founding Fathers more than 200 years ago. The tradition of our individual rights goes back to the Magna Carta and beyond. Men and women have fought and died to preserve these rights.

If another airplane flies into a building, or if it explodes in the sky, most of these rights of mine will be swept aside like so much rubbish.

(So much for Justice Scalia's Originalist philosophy, or Strict Constructionalism, for that matter.)
