I support this bill of rights, though I would like to see the thoughts of my peers.

I propose an Amendment:

"The only time the Bill of Rights does not apply, is in the case of a civil war."

I am in full support of this provision, however I would fight tooth and nail to ensure Mr. Caesar's amendment would not pass.

These are essential rights to be guaranteed to all of our citizens, and those whom are sworn to protect this Constitution.

Security and Liberty are not exchangeable.
