#1 Yet another ignorant partisan buffoon.
(Yawn.)

Who watches this garbage?

#2 Who watches this garbage? The same misguided half-thinking (if that) people we all live and work with who watch the local "news" that hasn't 10 seconds of actual *news* in it. The same people (some of them Republicans or Libertarians) who watch "entertainers" whose political leanings are full-on socialist/communist/totalitarian. As as society, we are nearly fully asleep as the rights and freedoms that allow life to be worth living are fleeting and threatened by those who imagine themselves to be our betters.

#3 You're touching on a deeper problem for which there's no real good answer, alas: many Americans simply don't understand or embrace the concepts enshrined in the Bill of Rights.

I was called for jury duty recently along with ~100 other people and during the juror vetting it became clear that about 1/3 of those interviewed could not grasp the concept of the presumption of innocence and the 5th Amendment. Maybe 1/5 of the potential jurors revealed themselves to be either incurably biased or completely clueless about how criminal trials work in our system.

It used to be the case that where our educational system fell short, our top media organizations and their leading writers would step in and fill the gaps in the public's knowledge.

All gone.

Now that we have barking mad Twitter-idiots spouting partisan one-liners all day, who will educate the public about their Constitutional rights?

#4 This is wholly dishonest; none of them believe in the Constitution. It was written by whites, therefore it cannot govern blacks. Shove that in their faces next time they try this crap.

#5 Somehow I remember McDonnell and others saying to remove the filibuster would be a mistake and the Democrats went ahead and did it anyway certain of their perpetual majority. The lady in the video only gives a second to that mistake but this is all of their making. Suck it Donks.

#6 Just realized their liberal privilege is being stripped away?
