If rights can be suspended at will, they aren't really rights.
I've been saying that about the USA ever since I found out that our government can take our so-called 'rights' away from us. A right, by definition, can not be taken away. Only privileges granted to us by our masters can be taken away.

At least we don't have to worry about quartering troops. So far.
