The more laws are bent and disregarded, the less any law (not just those laws) will be followed. Ask any parent.

I think that we may be better off if those that are willing to give up all power to the government to disregard the constitution would just run their own country, and leave the rest of us out of it. For someone that writes for an organization that makes its living off of the 1st amendment to advocate throwing out that which provides it that 1st amendment is moronic at best, and suicidal and murderous of a free press and a free people at worst.
