  1. To both of you (and any others) this is why the rest of the world is getting more and more scared of America. I'm Australian but went to college in America (late 80s). I remember arguing with frat brothers that if America wasn't careful it could lose all that was great about it. They used to argue that the US constitution guaranteed that America could not go the way other nations had. Their 3 favorite reasons why America could never fall into the disaster that Soviet Russia was were: The 1st Amendment, The 4th Amendment and SCOTUS. If the government did something then the entire nation would find out via the free press. If the government wanted touch you then they couldn't because the 4th Amendment protected them from the "police state". Yes they used to explain the other Amendments (mostly the ones about trials). BUT MOST OF ALL they contended that SCOTUS would protect all their basic rights. My favorite argument with Trump trolls is "How do you explain that Trump signed away your 4th Amendment rights tot he NSA?" I then like to remind them the NSA is scanning all social media including their comments. I would love to catch up with all the guys again, maybe this year it finally will. Because I would love to ask them all "How come you guys said all this stuff couldn't happen and yet it has." Even the 1st Amendment is being trampled on. As an Australia we've all watched the Assange fiasco. I know that in the past that would have been laughed out of court of 1st Amendment issues. Not just for the press freedom either. The grievance issue would/could/should make it a slam dunk.
