You will note that 4 through 8 deal in some ways with the means by which a government can restrict a person’s freedom and privacy. The NDAA violates most of them.
Arguably, the 10th Amendment, as well, should regulate the police power of the Federal government.
Tyranny is something a long time coming, and the first necessary casualty in that war, if it is to be won by the Fascists, is logical integrity. Words need to be made to mean whatever they need them to mean, and to be mutable even then.
Our leading thinkers–I nearly and incongruently almost said “best”, although “most esteemed” might work as well–have given up the challenge of word defense. This is why I feel so much fear for the future. How can the middle hold when the people who are supposed to keep it together are running around jabbering nonsense?
Edit: Actually, it is worth reading the Preamble, as well, which I had never read:
THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at
the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in
order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further
declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending
the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure
the beneficent ends of its institution.
