Lack of a constitutionLack of a constitutionPosted May 8, 2012 9:16 UTC (Tue) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091)In reply to: Cybersecurity and CISPA by nix Parent article: Cybersecurity and CISPA Yep, sorry. I suppose UK citizens would be even more offended if I suggested that EU directives play the role of a super-constitution since each of these has to be transposed to local legislation... Perhaps this particular right to electronic privacy should be included in the bill of human rights, or something else with the pretense of being universal. Is it too late to amend the Magna Carta? Anyway, the traditional right to privacy should be enhanced by including electronic surveillance and data retention as effective means of violating privacy. Bad things can happen, and are happening in places like PRC.

You could amend the Magna Carta if you liked, but it's almost entirely repealed by this point anyway so it's pretty much pointless to do so. It's not a constitution of any sort.
(But, yes, pedantry aside I agree with your original point!)
