We don't think that Bill Clinton has done a very good job of supporting the Bill of Rights. From the Communications and Decency Act to secret indictments, not letting people face their accusers, striping the right of habeas corpus and generally increasing the intrusiveness of the Federal Government, Clinton has been no friend of the Bill of Rights. In fact one wonders if Bill Clinton really believes that citizens should have rights at all or whether he would prefer to have the Federal Government control the actions of all citizens. Bill Clinton is not alone in his disdain for the rights of citizens, many people have little understanding of the Rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
