WRscofflaw, good timing for a pud.

"In a speech Monday, Obama's attorney general, Eric Holder said that too often in the past decade the fight against terrorism has been put in opposition to "our tradition of civil liberties."

That "has done us more harm than good," he declared. "I've often said that the test of a great nation is whether it will adhere to its core values not only when it is easy but when it is hard."

Where do you want to start? Warrantless wiretapping? Indefinite detention without a trial? How about the Patriot act authorizing searches of your home without telling you? Which amendments should we start with? The first and the fourth? Bush had the DOJ determine he could legally restrict freedom of speech and freedom of the press under the guise of terrorism. Take a drive on the Olympic Penninsula and maybe you'll run into one of the Border Patrol checkpoints miles from any border.
It's not the second amendment so why are you concerned and why now? Should have been awake years ago.
