There’s a pretty good talk on YouTube, from Ralph Nader and Bruce Fein, posted by Harvard Law School. Nader makes a compelling case for the continuing abridgement of freedoms in the United States, and the moral authority of the youth to speak out on these matters. In his talk he references an article from January, by Jonathon Turley, on ten reasons the US is no longer free. Cliff notes from the article:
- Assassination of US citizens
- Indefinite detention
- Arbitrary right to justice
- Warrantless searches
- Secret evidence
- [immunity from] War crimes [investigations]
- Secret courts
- Immunity from judicial review
- Continual monitoring of citizens
- Extraordinary renditions (i.e. torture by proxy state)
