“With the exception of the right to bear arms, one would be hard - TopicsExpress



          

“With the exception of the right to bear arms, one would be hard pressed to name a single constitutional liberty that the Bush administration has not overridden in the name of protecting our freedom. Privacy has given way to Internet tracking and plans to recruit a corps of 11 million private snoopers… Physical liberty and habeas corpus survive only until the President decides someone is a ‘bad guy’. Property is seized without notice, without a hearing, and on the basis of secret evidence. Equal protection has fallen prey to ethnic profiling. Conversations with a lawyer may be monitored without a warrant or denied altogether… And the right to a public hearing upon arrest exists only at the Attorney General’s sufferance.” David Cole – Georgetown law professor (from the book, “The Book on Bush” – 2004)
