Annoy a conservative....Think for yourself
The Declaration of Independence, and the U.S. Constitution are two of the most liberal political documents ever created. The United States itself is a liberal idea. The conservatives of 1776 were the people who never stopped being loyal to the king of England.Modern conservatives are the" Tories".

Very True and modern political liberals have now joined their ranks and abandoned their historical heritage.
That ain't necessarily so.

I agree, but in that case, 'the people' have been quite remiss!

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Friday barred local and state police from using federal law to seize cash, cars and other property without warrants or criminal charges.
Holder’s action represents the most sweeping check on police power to confiscate personal property since the seizures began three decades ago as part of the war on drugs.
News of the policy change surprised advocates who have for a long time unsuccessfully sought to reverse civil asset forfeiture laws, arguing that they undermine core American values, such as property rights and due process.
“It’s high time we put an end to this damaging practice,” said David Harris, a constitutional law scholar at the University of Pittsburgh. “It has been a civil-liberties debacle and a stain on American criminal justice.”

Um, I'm not sure it's related at all, but hey why not, more guns for everyone!
Really though, shouldn't we give the justice department some credit on this move? The seizures were blatantly unconstitutional.
