While most of us have made our peace with the various new restrictions on our civil liberties after 9/11, we have done it without really understanding what those restrictions are or the extent of their reach. Moreover, we tend to think that if the national security state overreaches, we shouldn't worry--the courts will come to the rescue and rein it in. In Taking Liberties, Susan Herman explains how this came to be. Beginning in late 2001, the Bush Administration undertook a series of measures, some of which were understandable and valid given the context, to expand federal surveillance authority. Yet as she shows through a series of gripping episodes involving ordinary Americans, they overreached to the point eroding basic constitutional liberties. Herman spells out in vivid detail why all Americans should be worried about the governmental dragnet that has slowly and at times imperceptibly expanded its coverage over the American public. The erosion of civil liberties doesn't just impact immigrants, Americans of Middle Eastern descent, or Guantanamo detainees, but any American who appears to be engaging in provocative political activity. Taking Liberties is a wake-up call for all Americans, who remain largely unaware of the post-9/11 surveillance regime's insidious and continuing growth"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000448643 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000448643 650_0 $$aTerrorism$$xPrevention$$xLaw and legislation$$zUnited States. 000448643 650_0 $$aInternal security$$zUnited States. 000448643 650_0 $$aDetention of persons$$zUnited States. 000448643 650_0 $$aElectronic surveillance$$zUnited States. 000448643 650_0 $$aCivil rights$$zUnited States. 000448643 650_0 $$aWar and emergency powers$$zUnited States. 000448643 650_0 $$aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009. 000448643 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000448643 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHerman, Susan N.$$tTaking liberties.$$dOxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, c2011$$z9780199782543$$w(DLC) 2011016285$$w(OCoLC)709682889 000448643 8520_ $$bacq 000448643 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000448643 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=776997$$zOnline Access 000448643 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:448643$$pGLOBAL_SET 000448643 980__ $$aEBOOK 000448643 980__ $$aBIB 000448643 982__ $$aEbook 000448643 983__ $$aOnline
