If you intend to be taken seriously when it comes to constitutional rights, then you really should make an effort to stand alongside those other, unpopular people and acts protected by amendments other than the Second.
At the heart of it, you're absolutely right Dave.
The problem I find, is I don't have time - or, honestly, sometimes, the interest, to research the details of all these constitutional issues. I firmly believe you can't just take the media's report on a situation (regardless of what side of the aisle you stand) because they are all so biased.
The Wiki deal, for example. Maybe I should stand shoulder to shoulder and support the 1st Amendment, but I don't know enough about that situation. If there were top-secret things leaked, obtained illegally, I don't see that qualifying for protection. Realize I'm not saying any of that occurred - like I say, I'm semi-ignorant on the situation.
So, for the issues I understand, I'm usually standing behind the law - be it Amendment 1, 2, 13, 21(THANK GOD)........
