7. AGREED, and more.
I consider the U.S. Constitution one of the greatest achievements ever of humankind -- like in the top 5. I don't know how we got so lucky that our Founding Fathers figured it out to the extent they did; but they did.

The greatest thing the Constitution does is to ensure fundamental rights to individuals AS AGAINST greater powers.

As we know, these rights have been shockingly eviscerated during the * admin.

I DO NOT agree to relinquish ANY of my fundamental rights, regardless of what is done by this admin and the pathetic body we're now relegated to as our "representative" Congress.

There is no way to preserve our Constitutional rights other than to DEFEND them -- by impeaching and/or prosecuting those who violate them. Short of that, our rights simply evaporate.

This is a fundamental law of human nature: if you do not stand up to bullies, you will continue to be bullied. This doesn't mean you have to exact revenge against them, but it does mean that, at the minimum, you must expose them and thwart them as far as possible.

Truth and reconciliation is a great recipe. First, you have to get truth. To get that, you need investigation.
