This is not hyperbole, demagoguery, or exaggeration. If we are honest with ourselves we will have to admit that eight out of ten of the Bill of Rights have been revoked. Chris Hedges is suing Obama and Panetta for the NDAA which revokes the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, not to mention Amendments 4,5,6,7,8. See link
I Have listed the Bill of Rights here which are the first ten amendments to the US Constitution. Anyone can look at this list and see that these rights no longer exist: Assassination of U.S. citizens by drone without due process; Indefinite detention; Arbitrary justice; Warrantless searches; Secret evidence; War crimes; Secret courts; Immunity from judicial review; Continual monitoring of citizens; Extraordinary renditions to foreign countries for torture, etc. etc. You can come up with your own examples. I haven't listed the clauses of the Constitution itself that have been violated, but there are many. What will it take for the sheeple to rebel? Will the drones have to fall directly on their heads? I suppose so.
