There is no greater good than the liberties that are protected by the Constitution. Period. I may not be able to stop the blatant infringements on them that we seem to see almost daily, but I won't let you piss on me and tell me it's raining either.

Not just NO. But NO WAY IN HELL, NO.
Once it starts, there will always be more reasons to tear out/eliminate more rights till the "royals" are in charge of the rest of us "serfs". The American Revolution and its results proved to the rest of the world that they could get by without kings, queens, etc. Those folks, the ones that know they are better, smarter, richer than every one else want to be in charge again. |

"What's constitutional must sometimes take a back seat to the greater good"
Ideas like this would be great if there was a universal agreement on the "greater good" by the educated peoples. The problem, of course, is that there is NOT a universal agreement on much of anything, much less the "greater good". So, how do we define it? The government? Something tells me that you might not agree with what Hitler, or Mao, or Stalin would consider the greater good. Perhaps we should do it as a democracy. I'm sure that the 1.4B people of China and 1.3B people of India would be great at deciding what is best for the world. Together, they make about 37% of the world's population. Of course, that is only 37%. They wouldn't really control stuff, so maybe we should look at the Top 20 countries - that is almost 75% of the world's population and includes winners as: China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, Mexico, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, and Congo. I'm sure that they would absolutely always pick what is best for you. We have a rule of law for a reason - and the Constitution is the basis of that. What is Constitutional must NEVER take a back seat to someone's/anyone's idea of the "greater good". If it were truly the "greater good", we would amend the Constitution to reflect it. |

This times a million. One of the key objectives of the constitution was to protect the minority political viewpoint. If this wasn't the case, there would be no point in having a Bill of Rights. What's the point in enshrining certain rights and limiting certain powers in a constitution in the first place if we were just going to go with "majority rule" or "the greater good"? If we were just going to go with whatever felt good at the moment for the most people, there would be no point in having a document the specifically prevents those things. |
