    So how can we continue to pretend we have rights when these “rights” can be taken away from us at any time, on the whim of an evil police officer or judge or DA, and we are turned into chattel slaves when they do? We don’t seriously have rights if we actually can be legally turned into chattel slaves at any time for any reason.

        That’ll never happen. There’s too many rich people and politicians.
        And dumb poor people that’ll protect them.

        Careful. You’re edging into the “small government” territory that sounds great but really means less food safety and building inspection and similar services, and more stuff taken private. It’s not what we want for sure.

            Depending on whom you vote for, they’ll either shrink it where it hurts or grow it back out again. Your choice.
