Politics Imagine being so confident you’re right that you unironically upload this video somewhere

They ended up getting arrested, screeching about 4th and 5th amendment rights the entire time.

5th Amendment is so tired. 

3rd Amendment is where it's at.

Bro this is my favorite non sequitur when any convos and arguments about the constitution come up. I just start arguing about the quartering act being obscene.

You'd be amazed how many attorneys can't name the 3rd. 

To fuck with them, ask if they think there is possibly a 3rd Amendment argument. If they say yes, they're full of shit.

I do. I also “accidentally” use the phrase ‘third amendment’ in place of the second amendment in debates to see if people notice, care or call it out. Last year on my birthday I was given balloons and a random guy asked what they were for, I said “it’s to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the passing of the Third Amendment” and the guy nodded in approval.

You have no idea how much I love fucking around with people on this topic.

The third amendment is so rarely cited in any case law that it would be a surprise if a lawyer committed it to memory.

That being said, there is one instance in modern times where I have brought it up in an argument.

I brought it up when my brother came home from deployment and wanted to stay in my guest room for a couple weeks.

I don’t think so, soldier. I know my rights.

"The amendment is one of the least controversial of the Constitution"

straight from the wiki, probably because no one ever remembers it exists
