Don't be fooled by bills of rights, warns Law Professor James Allan. They failed to stop lockdowns (everywhere) and are just tools of Leftist judicial activism.

The 'deep state' is real, and it is powerful. Rock the boat too much and it will find a way to get rid of you, as Dominic Raab found out when he asked civil servants to implement laws to curb the power of activist judges.
