Dear sir,

I think the perspective of those who have lived under tyranny is relevant:

Igor Birman: Americans should fear new detention law | americans, fear, nothing – Opinion – The Orange County Register.

“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear” is not part of our Constitution.

Happy Bill of Rights Day!

Dear sir,

I hope it is not only I who sees the irony of writing under a pseudonym on the 220th anniversary of  Virginia ratifying the Bill of Rights, making it part of our Constitution.  My famous namesake, who worked so hard to ensure a bill of rights so, among other things,  Americans would never again feel the need protect themselves from harm when commenting on public policy, must be crying in his grave.  We may as well be celebrating the Easter Bunny.

Your’s &c.
