What I was referring to was the "Not withstanding clause". There is no such clause in our bill of rights.

Furthermore, no one has ever been jailed for being poor!

Habeus Corpus is often suspended during war, even the great Abe Lincoln did it.

Yesterday we drove by a protest rally near the capitol, and the signs all said ONE MAN ONE WOMAN FOR MARRIAGE. They were blocking traffic and really pissed me off. I hate that kind of control freak behaviour! What they were doing was exercising their right to free speech while denying others the right to marry whom they please.

No document can ever cover all contingencies; not even the Constitution of the USA, one of the greates documents in the history of man. As long as humans are running things, there will be problems.
I do believe that I live in one of the greatest countries ever created, but, as great as it is, it is not perfect.The last administration proved that!
