I think that's giving politicians too much credit.

I think, even worse, that they HAVE read the Bill of Rights and think that:

1. it's outdated/does not apply
2. it has "exceptions"
3. it doesn't apply to them
4. it should be downplayed/circumvented if possible because it's "inconvenient"
5. they know better

or "6. all of the above"

I can think of very few politicians who are patriots. For that matter, I can think of very few patriots who bother with politics these days.
