A few sundry quotes:
According to U.S. Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID), the original Bill of Rights, though well-intentioned, was “seriously outdated.”
“The United States is a different place than it was back in 1791,” Craig said. “As visionary as they were, the framers of the Constitution never could have foreseen, for example, that our government would one day need to jail someone indefinitely without judicial review. There was no such thing as suspicious Middle Eastern immigrants back then.”
Ashcroft noted that recent FBI efforts to conduct investigations into “unusual activities” were severely hampered by the old Fourth Amendment.
“The Bill of Rights was written more than 200 years ago, long before anyone could even fathom the existence of wiretapping technology or surveillance cameras,” Ashcroft said. “Yet through a bizarre fluke, it was still somehow worded in such a way as to restrict use of these devices. Clearly, it had to go before it could do more serious damage in the future.”
Any machine, no matter how well-built, periodically needs a tune-up to keep it in good working order," Bush said. “Now that we have the bugs worked out of the ol’ Constitution, she’ll be purring like a kitten when Congress reconvenes in January—just in time to work on a new round of counterterrorism legislation.”
“Ten was just too much of a handful,” Bush added. “Six civil liberties are more than enough.”
hmmmm Propoganda or Not?
