I know that it would be easier to catch and jail criminals if we did not have a Bill of Rights in our Federal and State constitutions. But I thank God every day that it is there, that that Bill of Rights is a fundamental law. That is what distinguishes us from the totalitarian powers.

Criminals---
I very recently read that Portugal quietly de-criminalized ALL drugs, from heroine and crack cocaine all down the list. Their reasoning was that jail is expensive, and doesn't help people.
Their rehab centers are much more busy, and there's less violent crime on the street.
Interesting.
