Watching The Constitution Burn by slaveofone
The Patriot Act scares the living shit out of me. Here’s an example why it does: Mom Says Patriot Act Stripped Son of Due Process. Basically, it gives government the ability to supersede your INALIENABLE rights as declared in the Constitution based on the government’s own arbitrary whims. As this poor mother and son found out the hard way, far from making America safer, the Patriot Act puts America at the risk of the kinds of fascism and tyranny that have held sway over the rest of the world since the beginning of human history. Even YOU could be taken in the middle of the night and held hostage indefinitely by your own government without the ability to defend your innocence.
