Warning in America

Michael Howard’s track record. K&K. Livermore’s legacy. One child left behind. King Richardson of N.M. Plus more.

National ID cards? Curtailing the right against self-incrimination? National police force? Higher taxes and damn what the people want?

And the protections against unlawful search and self-incrimination are bedrock constitutional guarantees, as is the systems of checks and balances against the abuse of power.
