Unfortunately ... the UN doesn't follow the UN Declaration of Human Rights ... and no President since FDR has followed the Constitution.  So paper rights, yes, real rights ...

Which is why you should always tell a cop, "I KNOW MY RIGHTS!" They like to know that you're an informed citizen..

Protected!? Laws don't protect anyone, they can only punish after the fact. We're no more "protected" now than we ever were, which is not at all.

I won't even feel safe if it shows up as a Constitutional Amendment.  Its a societal problem, not a legal one.

Conservative version of SJW ... simply outlaw poor people and homeless people, harass them and put them in jail.  That will work fine ;-(
