Not me... ANywhere I stand is a free speech zone.
 
I should have added "according to the patriot act". Edited above post.

A Constitution Free Zone would be great,
if that also meant the absence of the state.

/poem / tight 10 second rhymes :D
 
Given that even those living in the heartland of the nation (aka "flyover country") are subject to abuses under the Patriot Act including warrantless searches and wiretaps as well as egregious Civil Rights abuses on the part of local authorities, it seems reasonable to say that we're ALL living in a Constitution free zone. :(
 
Or... in the immortal words of Bill O'Reilly, "I don't care about the Constitution!" Which is a sentiment he and most politicians in Congress seem to share wholeheartedly.


 
Not if you go by that picture, no. As far as the Patriot Act is concerned though, I think most of us are, no matter how far from the border we live. Ridiculous.
 
The entire US is a Constitution-free zone because there are many unconstitutional federal laws. There are also laws in all states that violate the Bill of Rights.

Neither the federal government nor that of any state cares about the Bill of Rights. They simply pass and enforce whatever laws they want to, subject only to the following restrictions:

(1) Partisan bickering limits the legislation that can be successfully passed.

(2) A majority of the US Supreme Court might have an opinion on certain laws. All they have to do to uphold or nix those laws is "interpret" the Constitution to suit their personal opinions. Those opinions will rarely diverge much from those of the Republican or Democratic wing of the political establishment, depending on which party affiliation is represented by a majority of the Court.

(3) It's much easier to rule people by deception, with only occasional use of force as needed, than by force alone. If a solid majority of a population can be kept under the delusion that they're free, they won't seek more freedom. This requires continually deceiving the US population into thinking that their freedoms are protected by the Constitution. Thus, politicians and other US officials continually pay lip service to that document, and once in a while a court will throw the people a bone in the form of a decision that seems to limit government power. But the truth is that the government can do anything. A document can't enforce itself, and who is enforcing the Constitution?

Practically everywhere in the United States is a Constitution free zone. As a 10th Amendment Patriot, I hate to see half of my home state covered in some arbitrary zone decried by government.
