Constitution free is hyperbole. You still have constitutional rights.

what does this have anything at all to do with the constitution?

Hey if we didn't follow the constitution before, why should such a paragraph stop us?

That's... what the Constitution says.

Did you actually read the constitution end to end? It's not that big, and if you had you would have see that such things you propose aren't in line with the text

That's not what the constitution says, but let's be honest: does it really matter what it says?

True. The Constitution doesn't explicitly ban a lot of things.

Thankfully the constitution explicitly forbids that in the US.

Please cite the passage in the Constitution for that?
