“President Obama should never have appealed this watershed civil rights ruling,”
Mayer said. “But now that he has, the fight may well go all the way to the
Supreme Court. At stake is whether America will slide more toward

decade-long erosion of our civil liberties. Since 9/11 Americans have been
systematically stripped of their freedoms: Their phone calls are monitored under
[George W.] Bush and Obama’s warrantless wiretapping program, they are
videotaped relentlessly in public places, there are drones over American soil
and the police control protesters and dissenters with paramilitary gear and
tactics. As long as Obama and the leadership of both parties want the military
to police our streets, we will fight. This is unacceptable, un-American and
unconstitutional.”
