As long as the 5th stands, both decisions were pretty much redundant and meant for ignorant people to be informed of their rights, IIRC.
Myself, I am sick and tired of ignorant, complacent citizens and believe the mess we are in is largely their fault. That's also why when FReepers post "elections have consequences" kind of grates on me, maybe I just take it the wrong way though.
Is there any public civil rights education counterpart to the ACLU which isn’t dedicated to pressing lefty social issues like gay marriage and abortion? Jay Sekulow’s ACLJ doesn’t answer to this need, as it is almost completely focused on religion issues. Libertarian groups are too alarmist for many people, and/or press other social issues (e.g. drugs) that many see as peripheral. I mean it’s pretty bad if you have to be Michael Dukakis to carry a card that reminds you of when to remain silent.
That's my concern. I do think that you a moron if you don't know your rights, but Obama’s policies are scary to me. I feel there might be more to this. Yes, I could be overreacting, but I don't trust this guy at all, now way, no how...no nothing.
No, I don't think so.
Was it Thos. Jefferson who said "The price of freedom is eternal vigilence"?
Words to live by for today,that is certain.
