The civil liberties I am referring to more specifically are:
1. The right to be presented with a warrant in order for any government agency to enter your home, to search you and to seize your property.
2. The right to habius corpus, ie. the right to an attorney's council.
3. The right to free speach and the right to assembly, including the right to vocally criticize policies you disagree with without impunity.
4. The right to have a court warrant issued in order for any government agency to engage in a secret wire tapping operation or in undisclosed data collection about you.
5. The right to a trial by your peers.
Some of these 'rights', once guaranteed by our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, are currently being sacrificed, and others have come into question, and all in the name of securing the nation.
If you had a choice, would you choose to give them up in order to feel safer? Do you feel safer?
