Andrew Napolitano: A Not-So-Happy Fourth Of July
How can we celebrate the degradation of liberty? Do you have more personal liberty today than on the Fourth of July 2012? When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he used language that has become iconic. He wrote that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, and among them are ... MOREScott Lazarowitz: Slavery Or Freedom
Escaping the shackles of statism. Have you ever thought about the morality or legitimacy of politicians forbidding you to have a vegetable garden in your own front yard, or buying or selling raw milk, or merely having a lemonade stand without a local bureaucrat’s permission? You see, when the armed bureaucrat is arresting the peaceful raw milk ... MORERand Paul: A Staggering Abuse Of Power
Obama's disregard for our Constitution. When I filibustered over domestic drone use, critics said that I was being ridiculous. They said that no American had been killed by a drone on American soil and that no one was likely to be anytime soon. President Obama responded that he hadn’t killed anyone yet and didn’t intend to — but he might. ... MOREJason Koebler: Tiny Device Will Detect Domestic Drones
Being alerted when robot planes buzz by. Worried about drones spying on you? Soon, a device might be able to send you text and email alerts that let you know when a drone is nearby. A Washington, D.C.-based engineer is working on the "Drone Shield," a small, Wi-Fi-connected device that uses a microphone to detect a drone's "acoustic signatures" ... MORE
Matt Welch: When The Madness Began To Lift
The fruits of Rand Paul's historic filibuster. The 2004 Republican National Convention, held in New York City as close as possible to the three-year anniversary of the day the World Trade Center was pulverized by terrorists, was a three-day festival of chest-thumping snarls directed at anyone who’d dare mention the concepts of civil liberties or ...

Current Laws May Offer Little Shield Against Drones
So much for limits on search and seizure. Targeted killings have made drones controversial, but a new class of tiny aircraft in the United States — cheap, able and ubiquitous — could engage in targeted snooping that existing laws are inadequate to address, witnesses and members of the Senate Judiciary Committee said in a hearing on ... MOREAnti-Drone Devices To Be Going On Sale
Some power for the people. Domestic drones will soon be soaring through the sky left and right,
but a company in Oregon with ties to the US military is marketing a
service that they say will make sure private property is safe from
surveillance. The team at one-month-old Domestic Drone Countermeasures doesn’t
go into many specifics, but says ... MOREVIDEO: The Next Generation Of Surveillance Capability

Rick Manning: McCain Goes Whacko Bird
A man whose time has gone. Senator John McCain went all whacko bird to the Huffington Post attacking fellow Republican Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. His fellow Republican Senators crime was to have had the audacity to actually stand up to power and force the Obama Administration to accept that the U.S. Constitution does not allow the random ... MORENicole Russell: Rand's Band Of Brothers
The liberty diehards. Whatever his ideological leanings, surely Shakespeare would have raised an eyebrow at the political scene Wednesday, if only for the content it would have stirred in his creative mind. Though Rand Paul spearheaded an epic 13-hour filibuster, he didn’t fill that time alone. Fourteen other Senators total — including one ... MORERand Paul: Rising In Defense Of The Constitution
Insisting on a meaningful Bill of Rights. On Wednesday, I rose to begin a filibuster on the nomination of John O. Brennan to be director of the CIA. I stood up with the intent of speaking until I was no longer able to speak. I vowed to speak as long as it took, until an alarm was sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that our rights to ... MOREDomestic Drones To Hunt Gun Carriers In America For DHS
by Cheryl K. Chumley. The Department of Homeland Security has an unmanned drone fleet with technology that can root out civilians who are carrying guns, government documents show. “I am very concerned that this technology will be used against law-abiding American firearms owners,” said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment ... MOREGene Healy: Washington, DC, Capital Of The Absurd
Why the nation's capital is a clown show. Like most of this company town, I'm addicted to Netflix's Beltway "telenovela," House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey as a conspiratorial House majority whip. But the show unwittingly flatters D.C., depicting a city of ruthless, steely competence. The real thing is a clown show consumed by ... MOREG. Donald Allen: Drones And The American Future
Their utilization is evolving as the minutes tick. Drones are a tool of the modern age. They have benefits. They have faults. They have become the equivalents of the secret agents of the past whose role was to observe and thwart as needed. They are a modern technology with which no governmental leader has a real, life-long experience. ... MOREU.S. Senator Says 4,700 Have Been Killed By Drones
"Sometimes you hit innocent people, and I hate that." It was the first time a politician or any government representative had referred to a total number of fatalities in the drone strikes, which have been condemned by rights groups as extrajudicial assassinations. The toll from hundreds of drone-launched missile strikes against suspected ... MORE
