Liberty vs. Security

I would love to recommend Judge Richard Posner's latest book, Not A Suicide Pact, but I haven't read it yet. In fact, I haven't even bought it yet. (To be honest, when my wife gave me a gift card to a large bookselling chain for our wedding anniversary, I passed on Hugh's recommendation and went with Ralph Steadman's latest.) But I very much like Andy McCarthy's review of the Posner book.

I only mention it because I'm sure Robb's head will explode as soon as he reads the piece.

I'm glad you take the death of Habeas Corpus so lightly.

That's okay, we didn't deserve it anyhow.

Throw around all of the bullshit false dichotomies (i.e. "Liberty vs. Security" - as if we are likely to see either one any time soon) you like. Then try this one on: Compare the Constitution to this article from the encyclopedia and see which one sounds more like the U.S. right now.
