Re: The Right Rediscovers Civil Liberties (For Now (none / 1)
Great ending, right on the head of the nail.
it is gratifying to see some on the right finally having their "come to Jesus" moment, whatever the reason.  Maybe now we can work together to roll back some of the worst civil liberties encroachments.  If we are lucky we will get those safeguards in place before the next Republican is sworn in as president and the right reverts to its erstwhile position.

As we saw for eight, painful years, no safeguard is effective against a determined aristocracy and a cowed peasantry.  Our Constitution was run through a shredder.
