Just remember that the ex-PM of Australia is doing the talk show circuit saying that is good Australia doesn't have a BOR. That's a good thing as it keeps the courts from protecting civil rights according to that genius.

A bill of rights is but the first step in maintaining liberty. My recollection is that the former U.S.S.R. had some outstanding civil rights protections in their constitution --- which meant exactly nothing. What good is the right to vote if there is only one candidate? A bill of rights must be actively protected and advanced if it is to remain in effect.
