Let Me Tell You, The First President

We See It In Attempts On Capitol Hill To Impose Gag Rules On Rules On Doctors On What They Can Say To Their Patients About Family Planning. And We Certainly See It Now With An Effort By The Government To Tap Our Phones; Invade Our Medical Records, Credit Information, Library Records And The Most Sensitive Personal Information In The Name Of National Security.

Judge Samuel Alito, Millions Of Americans Are Concerned About Your Nomination. They're Worried That You Would Be A Judicial Activist Who Would Restrict Our Rights And Freedoms.

There Is Also The Issue Of Personal Privacy When It Comes The Executive Power. Throughout Our Nation's History, Whether It Was Habeas Corpus During The Civil War, Alien And Sedition Acts In World War I, Or Japanese Internment Camps In World War Ii, Presidents Have Gone Too Far.

There Is No Room For Legal Hair-splitting When It Comes To The Humane Treatment Of Detainees - Not In A Nation Founded On The Rule Of Law And Respect For Human Rights.

In Going Too Far, They [presidents] Have Taken Away The Individual Rights Of American Citizens.
