Because you won't read a simple sentence written by the founders, instead preferring 52 pages of agenda-driven crap.

The fact that you won't read the actual constitution is no indictment of my understanding of it.

Actually, it isn't. The only thing mentioned is "the common defense", which implies invasion or rebellion.

"Safety" is not mentioned once in the constitution, except as pertains to habeas corpus (which is called off as a privilege, not a right).

There's nothing in there about "safety" trumping constitutional rights.
