our politicians are claiming liberty is preserved through the passing of new laws; specifically, laws that empower the government to scrutinize civilian behavior with fewer restrictions than before, laws that provide new penalties for crimes defined so vaguely that the appearance of intent is enough to convict.

Certain of these new laws are only in effect for the next several years--at which time they will be repealed. Certain of these laws apply to foreigners, not U.S. citizens. He's misrepresenting the facts.
