• The idea that the government can simply put a certain label on a person, thereby circumventing the normal due process of law should be revolting to all, not to mention that its un-American and defies the protection guaranteed in the Bill of Rights for ALL, regardless of race, religion or ethic background.

• WASHINGTON -- In an open letter to President Clinton, the American Civil Liberties Union today called on the President to reject the terrorism bill and preserve the authority of the federal courts to enforce the Bill of Rights. ...
• The ACLU said that the terrorism legislation contains a number of unconstitutional provisions, including the use of secret evidence in deportation proceedings. ...
• In the letter -- signed by ACLU President Nadine Strossen and ACLU Executive Director Ira Glasser -- the ACLU said that the terrorism legislation "would strip the federal courts of their authority and responsibility to enforce the Bill of Rights -- not just in death penalty cases, but in all criminal cases. ...
• "This is an agenda that has everything to do with weakening civil rights and nothing to do with combatting terrorism. ...
• On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union, we write to urge you to protect the Great Writ of Habeas Corpus by vetoing the anti-terrorism legislation currently being considered by Congress. ...
• Congress has not given you the bill you wanted; now they have given you something else you don't want -- provisions that do nothing to stop the threat of terrorism and everything to destroy a bedrock feature of the American justice system -- the writ of habeas corpus. ...
• The legislation before you would strip the federal courts of their authority and responsibility to enforce the Bill of Rights -- not just in death penalty cases, but in all criminal cases. ...
• This is an agenda that has everything to do with weakening civil rights and nothing do with combatting terrorism. Congress, eager to strip the federal judiciary of its historic role in the protection of Constitutional rights, is using the momentum of your anti-terrorism initiative as the vehicle for achieving this fundamental change in our legal system. ...

• Over the years successive governments - both Conservative and Labour - have looked for means to restrict our civil liberties in various obvious and not so obvious ways. ... They produce worthy-sounding long resolutions on the Rights Of Man and complain about those regimes who do not go along with it.
• For example during the miners strike of 1984-5 the state openly displayed its power, turning whole mining areas into virtual police states where civil liberties became just a long-forgotten dream. Usually at times such as these the representatives of the police etc, are quick to complain about how their hands are being "tied" by the inconvenience of various civil rights. ...
• In recent years, terrorism, with its inevitable whipping up of reaction within society, has been the best excuse to hand to push through repressive laws. In the seventies, we saw the Prevention of Terrorism Act rushed through in response to the IRA bombing campaign. This act was rather misnamed since it had no preventative effect on terrorism whatsoever, but instead gave the state all manner of draconian powers to arrest and hold people without charge, starting first of all with, as it happened, a trade unionist. ...
• Hence the grandly named Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Bill now being rushed through the houses of parliament. ... We are told that this will, in some magical way, protect us from terrorism, but the reality is that it will give the state incredible powers over us. ... The whole labour and trade union movement should rise up to campaign against this attack on our rights, for there will come a time when it will be used against the organised labour movement.

• Civil rights and the "War on Terrorism".
• One of the aspects that worries me the most, is the way in which civil liberties are being curtailed as a consequence and reaction to them. It seems logical that some liberties have to be given up in order to combat terrorism; it's logic the police and the establishment have always used to justify infringing on people's rights. ...
• It seems to me the "War on Terrorism" is being used as a cover for a powergrab. ...

• On the other issue, Dershowitz has persuaded himself that national ID cards are not the great threat to civil liberties that he once thought, and that they would be valuable tools in the fight against terrorism. ...

• Executive Summary Civil rights remains the unfinished business of America. ...  This report catalogues the ways in which the administration has reversed longstanding civil rights policies and has impeded civil rights progress. ...  But today, the national bipartisan consensus in favor of a federal role in protecting fundamental civil rights is beginning to fray. ...
• President Bush and many of his appointees and congressional allies are using the rhetoric of the so-called “states’ rights” movement to undermine Congress’ ability to promote progress on civil rights issues.  These right-wing policies and constitutional theories undermine the foundation on which federal civil rights protections stand.  If Congress lacks the authority to remedy discrimination, if states cannot be sued in federal court when they discriminate, and if federal agencies do not vigorously enforce the landmark laws of the 1960s, then civil rights protections lack the federal guarantee promised in the 14th and 15th Amendments. ...
• The bipartisan civil rights consensus also has unraveled in Congress.  There are a number of long-pending civil rights measures that represent a natural progression from the landmark laws of the 1960s:  the Employment Non-Discrimination Act would extend workplace anti-bias protections to gays and lesbians; the End Racial Profiling Act would provide remedies for discriminatory policing; the Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act would bolster federal authority to prosecute hate crimes.  While no movement is afoot to repeal civil rights laws already on the books, President Bush and his congressional allies have refused to support these next-generation protections. Meanwhile, the country finds itself in a war against global terrorism.  The government’s response to that assault itself challenges American values, including the value of equal rights. The possibility of another terrorist attack and ongoing hostilities with Iraq has combined to shift the public’s attention away from domestic matters, including civil rights enforcement.  During this time, the Bush administration has made far-reaching but low-visibility civil rights policy decisions through regulation, litigation, and budgetary activity.  In the aggregate, these policy decisions illustrate a pattern of hostility toward core civil rights values and signal a diminished commitment to the ideal of non-discrimination. Chapter One of the Report details regulatory threats to civil rights. ...  In the area of civil rights, regulation has been used to undermine bedrock protections against discrimination.  This chapter explores, for example: New regulations that weaken the civil rights of American workers; Threats to education equity for women and girls through new Title IX policies and other initiatives; The rejection of regulatory changes to address racial disparities in federal sentencing rules; and A number of anti-terrorism measures that adversely affect civil rights.
