As predicted so many years ago, America is now racing faster than its
feet can carry it toward being a high-tech police state. Polls are
being taken, Congresscriminals are proposing new draconian laws, and
courts have yet to be heard from (will require a few dozen court cases
before they are heard from).
Unencumbered by any Bill of Rights or true Constitution, the Brits are
way ahead of us. Arrest on suspicion, detainment without charge,
outlawing of entire classes of organizations.
The U.S restrictions shutting down various alleged terrorist groups
would seem to be a slam dunk First Amendment violation. Freedom of
association means freedom from government shutdown. Freedom to join an
anti-ZOG group, for example.
Reading the Bill of Rights aloud is now a terrorist act.
