Give me an example of constitutional rights suspended during the Civil War that are currently with us; give me an example of civil liberties/freedoms suspended by the government during WW2 (rationing comes to mind) that currently exists.
The fact is, measures taken to kill the enemy during war are temporary and necessary. Our lovefest with "Civil Rights" at the expense of human lives--3,000 on 9/11 and many others before during Impeached42's tenure needs to end. Now.
Temporary? Maybe you'd like to tell us under exactly what circumstances this "War on Terror" will be declared over, and "War powers" revoked.
