the most important amendments in the Bill of Rights are not replacement for politics but what enables politics in less-than- revolutionary times. Minus the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, the right to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to due process of law, the right to a speedy and public trial, etc. politics can only exist as a revolutionary underground activity, the sort of politics for which Americans, even leftist Americans, are generally unprepared.
