You've lost the "right" to have friendly phone chats with Osama.\n\nYou've lost the "right" to expose covert agents and secret programs while defending your terrorist activities.\n\n[Oh, and "Sneak & Peek" searches are done by warrant - it's just that you are not alerted. Don't these people know even the simplest thing?]

That was a good victory for the American people.  The supreme court is made up of more Reps then Dems. The law is the law and if you think Bush is above it then you are part of the problem. People die for the freedoms that Bush is taking away from us and you don't care because you only think of yourself and not all Americans. But don't worry I was in the Marines and I will still fight to protect your rights even if you wont fight to protect mine.

Yes..you hit the nail right on the head..I can tell you from an "outside" perspective that is exactly what the world sees..it is a shame that trusted governments can hurt their own people so much..Freedoms are being lost daily in the USA..Bush has been a very destructive man..not just to the U.S. but the suffering he has caused throughout the world is appalling. I hope the American people can stop it before it is too late...The blind and shallow-minded will disagree.

The terrorist is winning we have already had to alter our life in order to protect ourselves. Many rights that we had on 3/10 are gone forever. Thank you Mr. Bush

President Bush allows the death of innocent people including his 'fellow' Americans, his policies cannot be taken seriously as he is a liar who does not care about anything apart from being in charge of the world - I expect though that you would need to take each policy individually and weigh its pros & cons up for ' the good of the many' and discuuss the negatives and positive outcomes of each one.

So you're all over this Bill now. Funny you didn't even know about it until a few days ago. Someone gave it as an answer to one of your stupid questions. \n\nAnd in any case, attacking Clinton gets you no where. He's old news, he's gone. But I don't see you coming up with justifications for the war crimes and loss of liberties happening now. All you have is inane diatribes that make you the butt of your own joke. And all this Directed at kids that barely know better. Go argue where the big boys play and lets see how much you laugh.

After 911 America said "OUCH" and Pres. Bush was forced to DO something to appease the outrage. \nTime has past and new people born. Lessons of the past have been forgotten and we have to keep learning things the HARD way.\n\nSo, whatever is bothering you, get over it. Toughen up and fight, fight, FIGHT!

I'm concerned about the ramifications. The bigger question is why is this administration continuing to push beyond their power limited them by the constitution.  The "terrorism" card has been played all along the way by George and cronies. They are slowly taking freedoms away that so many of our soldiers have fought and died for us to keep. Your question is a good one and we should all be concerned about what our democracy is morphing in to.

Thank you. And it was on the news tonight that Bush is being charged with violating the Geneva convention. Let's see what the people who support Bush have to say about that.

This country has already fallen apart and is in chaos.  It is only a matter of time as to when we are under complete UN control and lose the rest of our Constiutional protected rights.\n\nIn Liberty, peace and love,\nEric H. Smith\nwww.erichsmith.com

I used to be a moderate but now I'm a flaming liberal. I used to be a moderate but how did I become such a liberal? When I saw that the conservative christian republicans are taking away my rights. My rights as a woman (freedom of choice), as a citizen (patriot act), as a free-thinking person. \n\nWhen Bush came to office he promised "I'm a uniter not a divider" but since then, he has alienized half of the country already. \n\nWhy are Americans so divided? When they feel their opinions don't count and their rights are being chipped away slowly.\n\nOh and reading "The Boot"'s entry, I highly doubt he has an advanced degree considering he couldn't spell the world "liberal".

So unbelieveable because it didn't exist... Clintons taxes took more of my income than Bush's... \n\nEconomic prosperity under Clinton? \nBULLSHIT!\n\nClinton took away many of our rights, including many 2nd Amendment related, he is one of the worst Presidents ever...

I completely agree with Franklin we should not give up the liberties he fought so valiantly for, not for any reason.\n\nNow please tell me exactly what liberties he was talking about that you are saying we are loosing?  \n\nThe liberal press in the name of the almighty $ is the group that is pushing fear in this country because you are buying it.  Supply and demand, you are demanding a artificial fear to try to drive republicans out of the majority.  The press is suppling it by the bucket.  \n\nFor you edification I've provided a link to the bill of rights.\n\nI can only assume you are arguing that somehow IV is being challenged?  \nAmendment IV\nThe right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.\n\nSome how you have assumed that unreasonable means never? Or that the place has not been described? Searches at airports have been described so you know it's going to happen, therefore your rights have not been violated.  Certainly a known terrorist calling you warrants a resonable search to the point of listening to the conversation by our anti-terrorism forces.

Without knowing who you are and what exactly your purposes are, I am afraid(literally!) that I cannot comply with your request.\nNot in the current political climate, under the present so-called "homeland" security lockdown on formerly protected civil rights.\nSorry.

If I lost any rights from the Patriot Act, I haven't noticed.  I have nothing to hide.  I'm not plotting againts our government.  Nor am I sympathizing with terrorists.  So, what's the big deal?  If it's not affecting you, why worry about it?\n\nDon't forget, the Patriot Act was the first act in recent history to pass unanimously in both houses of congress.

Bush Administration is totally confused after losing the election to Democrats. Confusion sometimes is contagious. I guess it has transmitted to the employees from the government. People need to elect a better administration.
