Can any of you seriously say the Bill of Rights could get through Congress today? It wouldn't even get out of committee.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Maybe the Jefferson case will give members of Congress second thoughts the next time they get ready to legislate away the rights of ordinary Americans.
Some politicians are aware of the Bill of Rights. It seems that the opposition party is far more likely to invoke it, to wave it in the air, this is what we saw from a lot of republicans during the Clinton Administration, and we are seeing the same from Democrats under Bush.
I think Congress can pass a bill when the American people start regaining trust in the administration to actually do their job and enforce the laws that are already on the books.
I cannot believe that the American people and the people they elected would use the Constitution to stifle any group's rights.
The Bill of Rights isn't some legalistic fine print. It was written to make our lives freer, more prosperous, and happier. By forsaking it, America has become no better than any other country in the world.
The real question is, when will we draft an artificial intelligence bill of rights? What will that consist of? And who will get to decide that?
If elected members of any body - whether it's a state house or Congress - were not willing to take career-ending or at least election-losing votes, I would not have the right to vote today.
Who gets to decide the robotic bill of rights? It's going to be controversial.
The Congress is virtually incapable of passing any reforms unless they first get permission from the powerful special interests who are most affected by the proposal.
A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.
