The Senate and the Supreme Court needs to read the Constitution and how it for formed. If they did they would understand that The Bill of Rights was a compromise made to get it Ratified. Our founding Fathers were afraid that the Constitution gave the central government to much power over the citizens. The Bill of Rights enumerates freedoms not explicitly indicated in the main body of the Constitution, such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, a free press, and free assembly; the right to keep and bear arms; freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, security in personal effects, and freedom from warrants issued without probable cause; indictment by a grand jury for any capital or "infamous crime"; guarantee of a speedy, public trial with an impartial jury; and prohibition of double jeopardy. In addition, the Bill of Rights reserves for the people any rights not specifically mentioned in the Constitution and reserves all powers not specifically granted to the federal government to the people or the States. They are law and our rights as citizens, what do they not understand about that?
