That's why it's mandatory that Americans vote for someone that is strong on upholding the Constitution above anything else, in the next elections. The country is going downhill regarding stepping all over people's rights, and it's only going to get worse if we keep electing the same people, or the same type of people who could care less about people's rights - all in the name of "security" and against terrorism, which isn't even a specific enemy, but a tactic, which means it can be whatever they want it to be, indefinitely.

Oddly enough, there are no major parties in the US that are built on a platform of strong constitutional protection.

They have become more or less one and the same party now. I'm hoping that by the next presidential election (2016) a true 3rd party will evolve. It's a good thing when 2 parties have to ally against the 3rd to have majority in Parliament/Congress. It also means that whenever those 2 parties, whichever they are, do something very stupid, there will most likely be strong opposition from the 3rd one, too.

Pretty much.
