Clinton's Record on Civil Liberties

[cema]

They say it's the worst.

Does it make sense to our local lawyers? Does to me, but I am not one.

[...] as David Boaz of the Cato Institute has accurately put it -- Clinton has shown "a breathtaking view of the power of the federal government, a view directly opposite the meaning of 'civil libertarian.' "

Every president since Reagan makes the situation worse. And, yes, Clinton is no exception.
The amount of "bad stuff" attributable to Clinton, however, is arguably smaller than what can be attributed to Reagan + Bush + SCOTUS (Rehnquist + Scalia) (War on Drugs, etc.)
But what Bush Jr. has done over less than 2 years in office is much worse than the total effect of 8 Clinton years.
