"the most successful movements have been those that adhered to the principles of nonviolence" hmm
right, because the 14th Amendment didn't come from a literal war or anything

What really gets me is that even an indictment would not have been justice, in either Mike Brown's killer's case or Eric Garner's.

A trial would have been going through the motions. We're not even going through the motions.

If you don't give people even the rough semblance of justice, how can you tell them to entrust their lives to the "rule of law"?

@sarahjeong let's talk about the first ten amendments too -
@eevee In fairness, the Constitution was not really a product of war. Not the same as the 13th/14th.@sarahjeong -
@JoThoHalloran@sarahjeong the /country/ was a product of war, and the constitution defines (constitutes!) the country -
@eevee@JoThoHalloran and amendments like the 2nd, 3rd, 4th specifically address British practices right before the Revolution -
@sarahjeong That's contested. A more realistic reading sees those as heirs of British law rather than American Revolution.@eevee -
@JoThoHalloran@eevee And you can read the 14th as a natural fit with the 5th. It doesn't erase the serious disruption prior to its writing. -
@JoThoHalloran@eevee And see this, re: history of the 4th. https://privacysos.org/node/1088
