Bill Of Rights Drizzle-Down
Interesting quick post at dailykos regarding the 10 amendments and the watering down of them over the past several years. Of course, I personally think that the 1970's Supreme Court giving corporations 1st Amendment rights was the beginning of the downfall. I'll find a link later.UPDATE: Here's the link to something that shows what I'm talking about. Start looking at the timeline around 1975-1976. That's when the Supreme Court decided that advertising was free speech for any company, de facto granting companies 1st amendment rights that previously only individuals enjoyed (save the media). You can use this google search as well.
