The Clinton administration claims that it can bypass the warrant clause for "national security" purposes. In July 1994 Deputy Attorney General Jamie S. Gorelick told the House Select Committee on Intelligence that the president "has inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches for foreign intelligence purposes." [51] According to Gorelick, the president (or his attorney general) need only satisfy himself that an American is working in conjunction with a foreign power before a search can take place.

Attorney General Reno has already signed off on the warrantless search of an American home on the basis of the dubious "inherent authority" theory. [54] The actual number of clandestine "national security" searches conducted since 1993 is known only to the White House and senior Justice Department officials.

This reasoning primarily came about during the era of great empires. Britain, through its government, came to dominate the world for a few hundred years. Germany took awhile to catch on, but they quickly became one badass country that nearly dominated Europe not once, but twice. Russia in particular is (rather, Soviet Russia was) a rather egregious example of Communism, which stressed total subservience to the state.

America, on the other hand, was rather libertarian in it's ideals and suspicious of government intervention. Until we got that Socialist prick Roosevelt in office. Yes, he may have brought us out of the Depression, but it took a war to do so.

Ever since the era of the New Deal, however, the government has told it's citizenry that government is a force for good, it is there to protect us. Even if it's from ourselves. Who is better suited to ensuring social conformity than the Almighty State itself.
The 20th Century is over now. Why don't we realize that government

I pose this question because the US Constituion says nothing about 'democracy'. Also, the famous words of Ben Franklin, "above all a republic" still ring in our ears today.

Not that it will make ANY difference to him, but does anyone think that if one addresses a letter to Bush @ the white house, that he will actually get to read it??? Should we write it to our congress-person, and then ASK if it would be shown to him??? I need to do a little venting as a young American, and would prefer that it get directly to the source.

If you didn't pay taxes, you'd have no schools, roads, bridges, law enforcement, and healthcare in most countries, so why do you object to them so much? What you should be screaming about is the misuse of your taxes by incompetent and corrupt governments.

All social programs could be taken care of and you could have a well-educated population if so much money were not spent on war.
