The problems we presently confront are immense and constantly growing, encroaching government on every level and scale. From city to state to federal, those in government want ever larger and more expansive pieces of everyone's lives. From local public transportation to Patriot Act initiatives, control of individual
lives through government continually grows. It appears endless...

"This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The achievements of the civil-rights movement in bringing about a more just and equal society are undoubtedly well worth celebrating. However, these achievements have not come without costs. In particular, it's worth pausing to consider the growing threat more recent and draconian anti-discrimination laws pose to American civil liberties."...

We are the sovereignty of this country. When the colonists fought their heroic battles to separate us from England, and to establish our union of states with 'The unanimous Declaration of Independence of the thirteen united States of America,' the power of the King of England transferred directly to be shared equally by the people of the newly found union. Therefore, the people are the sovereign -- hence, equal in law."...

[T]here seems little doubt that, overall, the recent Supreme Court rulings in three War on Terrorism cases ... and two Miranda rights cases ... are good for civil liberties. Or, more precisely, the Court has firmly restated some key American principles about due process and justice for all. Especially in the wake of revelations regarding abuse at Abu Ghraib prison and the use of torture and other disturbing forms of coercion in fighting terrorism, such principles need to be championed more than ever...

As a 23-year U.S. Navy serviceman, Vietnam War veteran, former official in the Reagan Defense Department, and lifelong Republican, I revere the flag and that 'for which it stands.' I still get a lump in my throat when I see the flag raised or lowered. Nonetheless, I unalterably oppose the constitutional amendment prohibiting its desecration that is scheduled to be sent to the Senate floor soon.

During my years of military and government service during the Cold War, I believed I was working to uphold democracy against totalitarianism. I did not believe then, nor do I believe now, that I was defending lines on a map; rather, I was defending a way of life. If this amendment becomes part of the Constitution, this way of life will be diminished. America will be less free and more like the former Soviet Union, Iraq under Saddam Hussein, or Afghanistan under the Taliban."...

They have nullified the first; you have to be a politician to criticise a politician on TV or radio before an election. ... The United States Supreme court has finally nullified every one of the Bill of Rights amendments through judicial fiat. The destruction of rule of law in the US is now complete...
