Quick reminder: Without a true Bill of Rights, your rights, as much you might think they are secure, are virtual at best.

The same is true with a Bill of Rights.

The government does what the government wants. If you're lucky, later a different part of the government will apologize.

A bill of rights may reduce the odds that those enumerated rights are denied to you, but it cannot prevent it.
