Toilet paper

Well, the Bill of Rights doesn't seem to be worth much recently, does it? I mean, what part of "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial" isn't clear? "All" is pretty determinate.

It'll be interesting to see what the Supreme Court does with this. Bush is all into "strict constructionists," whatever that means, so in theory Roberts might be against reading additional rights into the constitution, like, oh, say, the right of the government to do whatever the hell it wants during wartime.
