– Barack Obama, 8/1/07

For me personally there is no greater litmus test for President Obama to fulfill then to revoke and repel the civil rights infractions passed through the 8 years of Bush rule under the guise of fighting terrorism.

Glenn Greenwald has a insightful discussion with the executive director of the ACLU Anthony Romero about the steps towards restoration of core liberties. From Salon.com:

The ACLU recently released a detailed plan for the restoration of core liberties in America under an Obama administration. We discuss the most important priorities for civil libertarians in reversing the anti-constitutional abuses of the past, as well as strategies for holding Obama to his campaign pledges for doing so.

at least we can share how wrong it is and KNOW about these things, when in the past silence and whispers took the place of the internet

You want to talk about fucking justice:

Hillary Clinton: United States Attorney General.

Maybe I'm wrong.

But I can see it.
