Whose Rights? What Danger?

Abstract

Years and years and years ago, when I was a boy, when there were wolves in Wales,' when the federal courts were open plaintiffs and prisoners for the resolution of constitutional issues,2 before money was speech,' before closet socialists in the executive branch nationalized all the government's information and declared it off limits the citizenry,4 before Gonzo legal journalism cleaned up its act and became Critical Legal Studies,' before it was decreed that pregnancy is gender-neutral, before the Supreme Court cleared its docket by not hearing argument on why people should be released from unconstitutional confinement, there were civil liberties and civil rights. Now, the liberties and rights are in danger. We must do something. This book sounds the alarm. Be disturbed, it says, to the extent of a tut and I will thank God for civilization.8 I cannot fault the motive spirit
