My fellow Americans... How do you feel about losing the 4th Amendment?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I’m just going to copy and paste what I typed on Hacker News.. We elected Bush in 2004 when he had Tom Ridge upping the terror alert every week before the election. It never seemed to go down. But it always managed to go up to red every week. I think we have hit the point that you can’t really roll anything back. If you do and 9/11 v.2.0 happens you are politically screwed. And, unfortunately, it is all about the next election and soccer moms.
