Thank you, amateur legal scholars who’ve enlightened us about rules and regulations that violate our Constitutional rights. Without you, how would we know:

• The government has no right to make us wear a mask in public, except on Halloween.
• The Second Amendment clearly gives us the right a register and protect ourselves with a bazooka.
• Nowhere in the Bill of Rights does it say anything about sharing a restroom with women who used to be named Phil.

When it comes to violating our most basic human and Constitutional rights, our overreaching government is just getting started.

Consider the following:

• Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. be dammed, we have a right to yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater — and then yell, “No, I really mean it, Fire!”
• Don’t let anyone tell you differently. It is our Constitutional right to say “Merry Christmas” at a Passover Seder.
• Regardless of what you read in the Harvard Law Review, no one can stop you from co-owning a timeshare with your pet miniature schnauzer.
• It goes without saying, the Second Amendment grants us the right to bear arms including your own personal B-1 bomber.
• Ignore those lefties at the New York Times. If you are a justice of the peace, you have every right to refuse marrying two Civil War reenactors dressed as General Ulysses S. Grant.
• Ask yourself this? Where in the Declaration of Independence does it say we can’t fire off illegal fireworks in our living rooms?
• Free enterprise is the bedrock of our country. Don’t let any health inspector tell you your restaurant can’t sell hydroxychloroquine smoothies.
• And speaking of health, Obamacare be dammed, we must never give up the right to  purchase a health plan that costs more than the gross national income of Sri Lanka.
•  I dare you to find anything in the Federalists Papers that says you can’t fly on Delta, TWA or United Airlines with a rabid service dog.
• Our country was founded on the belief in God. We should be able to attend any church service that has a reasonable COVID-19 infection rate.

Stay vigilant, patriots!
