The Bill of Rights is Not Negotiable

There's an excellent essay on the Bill of Rights at alaskaslist.com. Here's an excerpt:

But no such power exists to discard any portion of the Bill of Rights, at least not without proper ratification by three-fourths of the fifty states. There is no such power found solely in the federal government. There is no such power placed solely in the executive branch, nor in Congress, nor in the White House.
