There's a difference, we are currently at war. LBJ was enamored in Vietnam, his policies whether you agre with them or not regarding that deserve a thread of its own some other time, but as I said, we are currently at war.

There's a difference, we are currently at war.

So that justifies anything the federal gov't did?

By the same token, during the Cold War, would it have been appropriate for the gov't to attempt to suspend the Bill of Rights?

On a side note, it will be interesting to see how many people here still use the "we're at war" retort to justify the actions of the government when someone with a "D" by their name is president.
