Not gonna happen. If I hear my lawyer friends right, their counterparts in jolly ol Britain would tell them that a Bill of Rights was overkill and the Magna Carta was good enough.
Then again, that would be coming from a country that came up with the concept of ASBOs while ignoring their due-process squelching abilities.
I've long regarded Britain as a place of our legal systems birth, complete with lawyers, politicians and judges that will do their damnedest to subvert justice.
In that sense, I can see completely how much the United States shares with it's ancestor. It's all in the family.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
