Dream on.  A large lawsuit, or even simply a threat of one, is enough to
silence the great majority of Americans.  Fear.  That is all it takes.
And when the court system plays along, the constitution is just a piece
of paper if you can't get the money and/or the horses to fight for it.

Mind you, we aren't yet _all_ the way down that road, but more rich
folks are figuring out how to play those strings.  It is not just
Scientology.
