Letter to the editor: Let's look at the Bill of Rights

Regarding David A. Scandrol’s letter “Has Pelosi read Constitution?” (Oct. 27, TribLIVE): Mr. Scandrol, have you read the Bill of Rights? You cite four amendments in particular.

In the First Amendment, did you see the phrase “peaceably assemble”?

The Fourth Amendment guarantees the right of the people to be “secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects … .” I agree. The problem is, social media is a public forum. Anyone who plans a coup on this vehicle is a fool.

Mentioning the Sixth Amendment, you imply these people are being prosecuted. Dear man, the process is a fact-finding exercise. The next step may result in criminal charges.

And finally, the 14th Amendment. Of course these people are citizens, but the question remains, who organized this assault on the U.S. Capitol? Why was the building broken into? And why were people threatened and law enforcement persons injured?
