I pressed the FBI to investigate CISPES. I opposed the school prayer amendment because of the way it was written. and other Bill of Rights issues. I fought to protect the fourth amendment with regard to the exclusionary rule. protected the fifth amendment rights of aliens with respect to extradition under the immigration reform. defended the sixth amendment right to speedy trial and preserve the presumption of innocence under the Bail Reform Act of 1984. all of which as the President will recall were very unpopular positions in this body. and I suspect unpopular positions with the body politic at large but I believed all of which would have infringed upon the most sacred of our writings. if you will. as a nation--the Bill of Rights. and particularly the first amendment. But no amendment to the socalled Bill of Rights is absolute. There are exceptions to every single amendment.
