A Nation of Sheep

From the onset I've tried to convince people that we had lost some of our most important rights as citizens the day the Patriot Act was signed into law, and we furthermore told the Administration that we would lie down in submission when there was no uproar to hinder it's resigning years later. People I talk to respond that it's good for the country, that it aids the government in defending us against 'terrorism'. I try to dissuade them of this and convince them that whether or not it helps the government track down and catch 'terrorists' before they have the chance to act, it is still in violation of the constitution. The Constitution is the very thing that made us great, a nation above all other nations, a nation of free people. In it it states that Congress shall pass no law that violates the rights given to us in that sacred document, and for over a hundred years no Congress has dared violate that rule. Until Now.

Maybe Judge Andrew Napolitano says it better than I can, giving a summary of his new book 'A Nation of Sheep' in a segment which surprisingly aired on the Fox News Network. Watch for yourself.
