It is under assault as never before as a result of the mindset of 9/11, in which fear, rather than good public policy, has taken over. The Fourth Amendment says, I think quite clearly, that each of us is clothed in a sphere of privacy, and that the government cannot pierce that sphere of privacy unless it has a good reason for doing so.
Now, national conventions are largely an excuse for companies and party leaders to throw parties for delegates to attend, to network and have a good time.
That is true, I do object to the level of your memory, it's apparently pretty low,
What prompted me was we finally have two governors (Napolitano and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson ) finally doing what the federal government should have been doing all along. That is, that we truly have an emergency on our southern border. She actually did something.

The solution's going to have to come from our schools,
Privacy is the most fundamental of all freedoms. In fact, it is the foundation for all of our freedoms.
Mortgage interest rates aren't dropping because of the interest rate cuts, but because of the anticipated economic slowdown and the lack of inflation,
Sir, you seem to be objecting to the level of my memory.
