Thomas Nephew reflects in the Huffington Post on efforts to restore the Fourth Amendment and undo the damage of such legislation as the Patriot Act, the FISA Amendments law, and the Military Commissions Act:
Our Constitution is not a nuisance. It is the foundation of our democracy. It makes freedom and self-governance possible, and helps to protect our security. The Democratic Party will restore our Constitution to its proper place in our government and return our Nation to our best traditions-including our commitment to government by law, and not by men.
