Shit, let a kid get popped with some pot and the GOP wants to throw the book at them, well only if the kid is black, but go against the very soul pf the nation and it's, hey, what's a little torture amongst friends.

4. Hell, why do we even have a Constitution if it's so damn inconvenient

and makes it harder to protect ourselves?

5. I agree

If the law is meaningless, the law makers are redundant.
