"Last week in this space I offered the idea that if we want to get serious about protecting the rights of crime victims in this country, we need to pass a Crime Victims Constitutional Amendment." ...
"...Interesting that so many liberal Democrats say they are offended at the notion of a constitutional amendment to protect the rights of the five million Americans who are annually victimized by criminals, many of whom are armed criminals, but at the same time they do not hesitate to try to take firearms out of the hands of law-abiding Americans. They are willing to distort the Constitution so Americans will be unable to protect themselves, and they oppose amending the Constitution to give the unarmed victims of violent criminals the right to be heard in court." |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
