> Personally, I would like to see an additional censure on Obama and all other executive, legislative, and judicial officials who abrogated their duty to protect the Constitution of the United States of America. It needs to be our harshest censure, to send a message to future administrations that secret coups will not be tolerated. But, who will keep us safe! If you want to see reform, you've got to start winning the hearts and minds of the American public and convince them the surveillance state is a bad thing. I think that is going to be a challenge. I know a lot of people who still say "I've got nothing to hide", etc. Truth is it takes very little to scare them into thinking the government needs to do everything in its power to protect them. Case in point, the Boston bombing, which was horrible (I'm not discounting it). But, have we seen any increase in regulatory pressure on fertilizer plants? I'm far more "worried" (=rationally aware of the risk) about the anhydrous ammonia plant on the other side of town. There are approximately 10,000 federal statutes, many of which never get enforced because they are either too difficult or so completely asinine that nobody cares (http://tjshome.com/dumblaws.php http://tjshome.com/dumblaws.php). Just wait until the infrastructure gets to the point where it allows total information awareness on the general population and everything gets enforced. That is a bureaucrat's wet dream.
