A Limited-Government Republic versus a National-Security State
• https://www.fff.org, by Jacob G. HornbergerThe worst mistake that the American people have made in the entire history of the United States was to permit the conversion of the federal government to a national-security state.
"On the basis of that assurance but still leery, the American people approved the deal, but only on the condition that the Constitution would be amended immediately after being approved." That statement is nonsense. The "American" people approved of nothing. It was jammed down their throats from day one. Be leery of someone who tells you what people 240 years ago were thinking.
