Re: "change" is a great thing...if you don't like your constitutional rights
The pendulum swung in one direction for several years and it is now swinging in the other direction. I would say that no matter what way the pendulum has been swinging our rights have been eroding for many many moons. When it swings one way we loose freedom of speech, privacy, due process, and separation of powers. When it swings the other way gun ownership is scrutinized, and we get a bit more of a nanny state....you know what, they are all the f%^&#! same.
I wonder how Thomas Jefferson would view the state of our inalienable rights.
