And you were thinking we are running out of space for landfills?

Constitution Free Zone - Map | American Civil Liberties Union

Click on your state in the map below to find out how many Americans are currently living without full constitutional protection.

An excellent map from the ACLU: Two-thirds of the U.S. population live in the orange band. This includes all of New England except for a tiny southwestern corner of Vermont, all the East Coast states down through Delaware, all of Florida, Michigan and Hawaii, 97.4% of New York's population and - here's a surprise - 99.73% of California's (all by the 2007 census). The orange band represents the 100-mile swath along every border that's the purview of the border patrol, ICE, Einwanderungspolizei, whatever - the guys who can demand your ID, search your car, computer and phone, and - who knows - exile you to one of those countries with health care if they don't like the way you look.
