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?
This is Mr. Howard's track record -- exactly the sort of thing that had the Founding Fathers reaching for their muskets. God forbid conservatives should look to repression of this kind as the answer to our country's problems. We're supposed to conserve American values, remember? 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.
