“A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.” ~John Adams”

I suggest you read Andrew P. Napolitano's Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the Government Breaks Its Own Laws.

"Napolitano explains several dangerous precedents in this book, notably:

-eminent domain abuse and the legal twisting of the "takings clause".

-the incredible story of how the FBI let crazy liar Emad Salem swindle them.

-journalists who have been punished for publishing information relevant to court cases.

-Reno's greatest hits: the Waco siege & the Elian Gonzalez kidnapping.

-Brandon Mayfield, a lawyer whose legal defense of the "Portland Six" led to his becoming a terrorist suspect by the FBI.

-closed hearings in immigration trials and the disappearance of individuals in "special interest cases" (!)

-Yasir Hamdi and Jose Padilla and the creation of the term "enemy combatant" and the weakening of habeas corpus."

"Unless you work for it, sell to it, or receive financial assistance from it, the government is not your friend". ~pg. 129 Judge Napolitano should be a Supreme Court justice!

Indeed. He shows some good reasoning.
PS — I like your tagline.
