Harry Browne's stand on the Bill of Rights
In addition to its disregard for the 9th and 10th Amendments, which limit the size
and scope of the federal government, the federal
judiciary and their partners in crime in the White House and the Congress, have also
done violence to every other amendment in the Bill of Rights. I will appoint judges
who will return the Bill of Rights to its full force and effect.
This means that...
- You have the right to speak and write freely -- on paper, on the airwaves, on the Internet
--even if the government thinks it has a "compelling interest" in shutting you up.
- You have the right to keep and bear arms -- even if some lunatic shoots up a restaurant
somewhere.
- You have a right to be safe from unreasonable search and seizure -- even if a DEA agent
thinks you fit his profile of a drug dealer.
- You have a right to financial privacy -- even if an IRS agent demands to know everything
about you.
- You have a right to the full use of your own property -- even if the EPA wants to declare
your backyard a "wetlands."
